Hooked: Why We Are Addicted and How to Break Free

Written for millennials and Gen Z, this approachable guide reframes addiction and provides tools from psychotherapy to help the reader break harmful behaviour cycles.

We are constantly seeking ways to excite, soothe or distract our overactive brains, and it's easy to get hooked in the process ... on social media, shopping, alcohol or something else entirely!

In this essential guide to getting unhooked, psychotherapist Talitha Fosh shares her own addiction story alongside tried-and-tested techniques for discovering healthier habits and reclaiming your freedom.

• Dismantle the stereotype of the "addict" and discover why you rely on external factors to change the way you feel.
• Explore the temporary highs of addiction and create coping strategies for the inevitable lows.
• Identify your own addictive behaviours and explore what they are distracting you from.
• Reflect on your healing journey through practical exercises and journaling.

Hooked provides a supportive space for you to rediscover the life you want, and to take the essential steps to attaining it.
