Life balance is indicative of creating and sustaining a meaningful and satisfying quality of living. Contrarily, work addiction is overinvesting in work‐related behaviors, thereby truncating important life‐balance domains. Given a growing body of literature specific to life balance and the increasing incidence of work addiction and burnout among professionals, the authors evaluated life balance and work addiction among 409 professionals in high‐pressure, high‐demand careers. A strong relationship between life‐balance domains and the propensity toward work addiction was noted. Specifically, stress/anxiety and sleep disturbances were identified as work addiction indicators reducing perceptions of life balance. Counselors should assess these critical domains with clients working in high‐pressure, high‐demand careers and be prepared to support these professionals as they restructure their lives to improve life‐balance domains.

评估高压，高需求职业中的生活平衡和工作成瘾

生活平衡表明创造并维持有意义和令人满意的生活质量。相反，工作成瘾过度投资于与工作相关的行为，从而缩短了重要的生活平衡领域。鉴于专门针对生活平衡的文献越来越多，专业人员之间的工作成瘾和职业倦怠发生率不断上升，因此作者评估了409位从事高压，高需求职业的专业人员的生活平衡和工作成瘾。人们注意到，生活平衡领域与工作成瘾倾向之间存在密切的关系。具体来说，压力/焦虑和睡眠障碍被认为是降低生活平衡感的工作成瘾指标。咨询师应与在高压下工作的客户一起评估这些关键领域，
