Workaholism Worse Than Alcoholism
May 15, 2023A recent study showed that adult children of workaholics suffer from higher rates of depression and anxiety than adult children of alcoholics.
Most success addicts justify their workaholism by claiming they're taking care of their family.
And yes, workaholics can be tremendous providers of money and presents. But it's almost always in lieu of the #1 thing their loved ones need...
Emotional PRESENCE.
While the Surgeon General has declared loneliness an epidemic in the United States, a deeper dive into the research reveals that the highest rates of loneliness are NOT single people.
It's married people with an "absent spouse."
As opposed to kids who witnessed their parent act out in ugly ways, children of workaholics struggle because their childhood had the appearance of being "perfect"- with a nice home, nice vacations, and attending the best schools.
Not realizing their emotional needs matter as much as financial security, they are confused as to why they’re unhappy and often shame themselves for not being grateful.
The bottom line is it’s nearly impossible to have a healthy relationship with your partner or children if you have a dysfunctional relationship to work and success.
Because success without loving relationships, emotional intimacy, and deep purpose is failure.
At the Integrated Coaching & Wellness Centre, we help professionals get to the ROOT CAUSE of their workaholism so that they can become a WHOLE human with better connections to themselves, the people they love and hobbies that give them balance away from work...
As someone who was a workaholic for a period of time, I found the Root Cause of my workaholism was because I wanted to get the recognition from my dad, that I never got as a kid or even adult.
I was oblivious that this was driving my behaviours, oblivious because it was happening in my sub-conscious (below my awareness) and this is why you need to work with someone because you will not be able to know without working with someone else.
