Behavioural addictions
Behavioural addictions —gambling, technology, sex, shopping, work or emotional dependency— also trap people and cause suffering. At Reconectar we treat them with a personalised approach in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Gambling addiction (ludomania)
Gambling addiction traps the person in bets they cannot control and devastates their finances and relationships.

Addiction to technology and the internet
The smartphone, social media and the internet can turn into a dependency that steals time, attention and emotional wellbeing.
View treatment
Video game addiction (gaming)
Gaming stops being leisure when it controls the person's time, rest and life above everything else.
View treatment
Sex and pornography addiction
Sex and pornography addiction turns sexual behaviour into a compulsive response to distress that the person cannot stop.
View treatment
Compulsive shopping (shopping addiction)
Compulsive shopping turns the act of buying into a way to soothe distress, leaving guilt and debt in its wake.
View treatment
Work addiction (workaholism)
Work addiction turns working into a need that sacrifices health, rest and relationships.
View treatment
Exercise addiction (bigorexia)
When exercise stops looking after your health and becomes a rigid obligation, sport can turn into an addiction.
View treatment
Emotional dependency and relationship addiction
Emotional dependency ties self-esteem and wellbeing to another person, until it feels as if life does not work without them.
