According to a recent study, it is estimated that more than 10
million Americans are unable to stop themselves from frequent
shopping binges that lead to debt, damaged relationships, and
depression. In this book, April Lane Benson draws on decades of
clinical experience and on recent research to offer information,
insights, and practical strategies for overcoming compulsive
buying. The cardinal signs of compulsive buying are: frequent
purchases of unneeded or unaffordable items; intrusive or
uncontrollable impulses to buy; and, emotional let-down or feelings
of guilt after shopping. In plain and encouraging language, Dr.
Benson helps readers to identify their 'overshopping sequence' -
the pattern of triggers, actions, and aftershocks (or negative
consequences) that plague compulsive buyers.With this awareness of
the dynamics of their shopping problem, readers gain the ability to
address the root causes. Dr. Benson demonstrates how unaddressed
emotional pain can drive us to over shop, as can limited and
unrealistic concepts about what will make us truly happy in life.
To promote recovery, she offers readers an integrated approach that
enlists the mind, the heart, and even the body to develop a mindful
awareness around shopping and take back control over buying and
spending. It includes patient stories, practical strategies,
exercises, and information on financial planning.
