Our providers offer help for workaholism in Austin, TX

Hard work isn’t just respectable – it often genuinely gets things done.  It can pay the bills, help people at home, or move you up in the world.

But when being productive becomes an obsession, it’s a hard one to resist. Contact Thriveworks Austin for help with workaholic symptoms—call us or book online to get started.

What Are Common Workaholism Causes?

Some common causes include:

•  High Workload (too much to do, no chance of catching up)
•  Low Control (less say in what you do or what happens to you)
•  Low Reward and Recognition (if nothing you do right changes how people see you or your future at the company)
•  Little Sense of Community (feeling disconnected from others, not part of the group)
•  Low Sense of Fairness (biases and favoritism, distrusting that there will be support for good people, causes, or ideas)
•  Low Sense of Values (company not living up to its moral goals, doing more harm than good)
