Overcome Compulsive Shopping Addiction – Treatment in Brighton
Shopping can be fun but compulsive shopping is something that requires treatment. If you have a problem with binge shopping, you know it needs to stop. Some joke about being a shopaholic but in reality, this can be a very harmful compulsion. I can help.
Contact me – Adam Szmerling. Compulsive shopping, also known as oniomania, can be overcome with the help of a trained psychotherapist. I possess skills and tools that can help you overcome your addiction to buying things. Working with me provides you access to various treatment methods, such as: NLP, hypnotherapy, Buddhist psychotherapy, dream interpretation, mindfulness therapy, group therapy, and more. I can also offer online counselling options which would be a good option for those who are not local to the Bayside clinic or for those that prefer being treated from the comfort of their own home.
It’s time to stop your shopping addiction from controlling your life!
Let’s work together to help you cure your compulsive shopping habit.
How do you know if you have a problem? Symptoms of binge shopping include:
• Shopping when you are depressed, to feel better
• Buying things you don’t need
• Buying things you cannot afford
• Hiding your shopping habit from others, such as your spouse
• Feeling guilty or feelings of self-loathing
Stopping compulsive shopping on your own can prove to be difficult. The cost is high, though. Draining your savings account, buying on credit, keeping secrets from your husband or wife, and shopping when you should be doing other things will have negative consequences. I help you overcome the addiction and I will also help you use tools you already have that will assist you in rebuilding your life.
How long will compulsive buying treatment take?
Timeframes for overcoming shopping addiction cannot be guaranteed but within a few sessions, we should have a good idea whether or not initial treatment methods are working. Your dedication to overcoming this compulsion is a major factor. There may be more than one attempt at finding a viable treatment option for you but rest assured that as your therapist, I will work with you to help you overcome your shopping addiction as soon as possible.
How is Bayside Psychotherapy's treatment different?
I will meet with you for an initial consultation which will allow me to make a determination on an initial course of tailored treatment. My unique blend of experience and training puts me in a unique position to blend a holistic set of approaches. I use a scorecard after a few sessions to help measure our success so far and if we don’t see that things are steadily moving in the right direction, I will alter treatment options to help you accelerate results.
