Press Releases January 10, 2006 - Online Help Now Available for Compulsive Shopping and Overspending People who have problems with compulsive shopping and overspending can now find help on the Internet with the new Help for Compulsive Shopping online program from MySelfHelp.com. This highly effective and interactive program provides exercises, tips, and tools to help individuals control their shopping behavior and stop overspending. Compulsive Shopping Similar to Other Addictions “Compulsive shoppers typically spend money to make themselves feel better or to fill a void, but instead they ultimately end up feeling worse," said Dr. Richard Bedrosian, the world’s leading expert on online self-help programs for mental health problems. “Compulsive shopping is similar to other addictive behaviors such as alcohol and substance abuse, gambling, and overeating, and depression and/or anxiety are often at the root of the problem.” Help for Compulsive Shopping helps individuals identify and address the cause of the behavior by providing effective tools to help them identify thoughts and issues that cause them to overspend, manage triggers for compulsive shopping, monitor and change shopping and spending behavior, manage finances, create a recovery plan, and find more positive ways to satisfy their needs.
