Scenario

When addictive behaviors are socially rewarded

My therapist says my workaholism is an addiction but I get promoted and make money from it so everyone thinks I am successful and I cannot see why I would want to change.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Compulsive behaviors that align with cultural values receive positive reinforcement, making it difficult to recognize the internal suffering they create.
