The “Respectable” Addiction: Workaholism | With Dr. Dawn Nickel

#sherecovers #workaholism
Overworking, or what some call “workaholism” is a complicated process addiction, but one that is often viewed positively and even seen as a cornerstone of business success. As a woman who identifies as being in recovery from workaholism for more than a decade, Dr. Dawn Nickel knows the topic well. In this session of #MentalHealth Monday, Dr. Dawn will:
✅Describe the characteristics of workaholism and its attendant risks
✅Share her own recovery practices in this area
✅Introduce approaches for both identifying and addressing overworking/overdoing tendencies

Dawn is a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, with a Ph.D. and professional experience related to women and health care policy.
