Synopsis

The Technology Addiction Workbook provides helping professionals with cognitive and behavioral

assessments, tools, and exercises that can be utilized to treat the root psychological causes of technology

addiction. It is designed to help people identify and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors that

may have led to technology addiction. The activities in this workbook can help participants identify the

triggers that can lead to the overuse of technology and teach them ways to overcome and manage those

triggers.

The Technology Addiction Workbook will help participants to achieve the following:

- Recognize that they are experiencing an addiction problem.

- Reflect upon the behaviors that are part of and arose from the addiction.

- Build self-esteem in positive capabilities outside the use of technology.

- Understand the triggers for preoccupation with various aspects of technology.

- Develop greater self-acceptance and the ability to change ineffective behaviors.

- Understand recurring patterns that indicate a technology addiction.

- Learn ways to live a new life without obsessing over technology.

The Technology Addiction Workbook is a practical tool for teachers, counselors, and helping professionals

in their work with people suffering from behavioral addictions. Depending on the role of the person

using this workbook and the specific group's or individual's needs, the modules can be used individually

or as part of an integrated curriculum. The facilitator can administer an activity with a group or

individual or use multiple assessments in a workshop.
