The “Respectable” Addiction: Workaholism with Dawn Nickel, PhD

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.

During this engaging session of #MentalHealthMonday Co-Founder of SHE RECOVERS, Speaker, Coach, & thought leader, Dawn Nickel 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

ABOUT DAWN NICKEL, PhD, SRCD

Dr. Dawn Nickel is a respected thought leader in the women’s recovery sphere and (along with her daughter Taryn Strong) the Founder of the SHE RECOVERS Foundation, a not-for-profit grassroots organization that inspires hope, reduces stigma, and empowers women in or seeking recovery for substance use and/or mental health challenges. Dawn is a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, with a PhD and professional experience related to women and health care policy. In her work as a researcher and consultant, Dawn has focused largely on exploring how best to support women who experience substance use disorders, mental health issues, and intimate partner violence, the three issues that prompted Dawn to start her own personal recovery journey in 1987.
 
Since 2011, Dawn and Taryn have dedicated their lives to developing SHE RECOVERS and its offerings so that more women (and more women from diverse backgrounds) have the access, resources, support, and freedoms necessary to cultivate individualized and holistic pathways in order to find health, sustain long-term recovery, achieve their potential, and help other women to do the same.
