Coping with Behavioral Addictions

The purpose of the Coping with Behavioral Addictions Workbook Series is to provide helping professionals with cognitive and behavioral assessments, tools, and exercises that can be utilized to treat the root psychological causes of a behavioral addiction. The reproducible activities contained in these workbooks can help participants identify their triggers that can lead to acting on their addiction and teach them ways to overcome and manage those triggers.

The workbooks in this series are practical tools for teachers, counselors, and helping professionals in their work with people suffering with behavioral addictions. Depending on the role of the person using each workbook and the specific group’s or individual’s needs, the modules can be used either individually or as part of an integrated curriculum. The facilitator may choose to administer one of the activities to a group or administer some of the assessments over one or more days as a workshop.

Learn more about the evidence based theory (CBT) behind the workbooks.
