Overview
Our innovative workshop today will be focusing on behavioral addictions. The question is no longer “can you be addicted to behaviors?” but instead, “what is the best way to address behavioral addictions in clinical work?” This presentation will provide an overview of behavioral addictions with a specific focus on seven potentially addictive behaviors: internet gaming, social media, sex, pornography/cybersex, gambling, non-suicidal self-injury, and food. Attendees will learn how to recognize behavioral addictions, become familiar with assessment instruments, and explore ethical issues and treatment considerations. Presented by expert author and Associate Professor of Counseling at the University of Georgia, Amanda Giordano, PhD, LPC, this is an engaging, informative and eye-opening day of learning you won’t want to miss!

- Synthesize current research and neuroscience related to the prevalence and nature of behavioral addictions.
