Treating any addiction, let alone something as relatively new and unknown as Technology Addiction, requires specialized knowledge and expertise. It is imperative that treatment addresses co-occurring disorders as well as the unique needs of the individual and/or family. Indeed, Tech Addiction is often the tip of the iceberg which makes finding qualified treatment providers quite difficult.

"It's been good to sleep" says another, a 17-year-old with spiky hair, now that he's no longer on the computer all day.

Playing screen-based games and in particular internet games such as Massive Multiplayer On-line Role Playing Games (MMORPG) are popular worldwide and many millions of people get a lot of pleasure from playing them. Some people however, have a particular nature that makes them more vulnerable than others to the risk of a dependency on gaming.

It takes courage to change. Yet knowing we want to change is not the same as actually changing.

Sometimes we need help to activate our innate growth and change process.

Sometimes we need to clear out old patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck.

Sometimes we need to explore ourselves and find out what it is we truly want.
