Overcome Shopping Addiction and Overspending

You can overcome shopping addiction and dependence with the help of a hypnosis CD. Overcoming urges to buy things at the mall and retail stores is very difficult. However, you can walk by a shop without making a purchase with the help of your subconscious mind. It doesn’t matter if your addictive spending is on objects, clothing or online. You can find help.

Nature of Addictive Purchasing

When you buy things in excess, you may have great feelings of elations for a moment. This feeling is commonly followed by buyer’s remorse, guilt and anxiety. This is especially problematic if your spending habits have lead to financial problems.

Overspending is a serious addiction that requires attention before you do harm to the financial aspects your life. This financial stress can lead to emotional discordance and anxiety. These feelings are aggravated by problems in relationships between you and your loved ones.

Buying Happiness

You are literally buying happiness when you shop in excess. Overspending is closely related to positive feelings in your subconscious mind. This process is a simple stimulus-response experience that works on a very fundamental level.

Your subconscious mind holds on to experiences that are significant and somewhere along the line, you had a very positive buying experience that been adopted into the subconscious. When you want to feel better, you may make purchases to have that same feeling of elation that you did when you made that initial, inspiring purchase.

A viable approach to dealing with this purchasing cycle is to go directly to the subconscious mind to change your responses. This is very difficult to do on a conscious level. In fact, you have probably tried to tell yourself that you shouldn’t spend too much money. You know that you will feel awful after you do but you continue with the behavior anyway.

You continue with the behavior because it is an addiction, just like any addictive experience. You can become dependent on the feelings of elations when you buy things just as an alcoholic becomes dependent on the act of drinking. The core of your addictions is habit and behavior.

Self-hypnosis seeks to retrain the subconscious mind to have different responses to stressful situations. You no longer feel the urge to make purchases because you begin to look at things realistically. False pleasure and buying happiness are replaced with genuine feelings of relaxation.

Overcoming Addictive Overspending

Getting over addictive overspending is every bit as difficult as getting over a substance abuse problem. You go through the same process of anxiety, feelings of loss and withdrawal. The withdrawal is not physical but the psychological withdrawal is just as powerful.
