Online Shopping Addiction

 


According to Google, more and more people are searching for answers about shopping addiction -- especially when it comes to online shopping.

After the holidays, many of us are reviewing our expenses. For some of us, this might be an anxiety-inducing experience, as we discover that we spent more on gifts or holiday entertainment than we intended.

However, the occasional overspending online is distinctly different from a shopping addiction, in which the shopper consistently feels out-of-control and powerless to stop their online shopping behavior.

With COVID-19 leaving many of us bored and stuck at home, we might find ourselves turning to online shopping to cope. Online shopping can give you a rush of instant gratification than can temporarily relieve some of the feelings of uncertainty and depression that come with isolation.

The problem with online shopping addiction is that the rush doesn't last, so we find ourselves needing to shop again to maintain the high. As a result, people with online shopping addiction may find themselves in financial trouble or harming their relationships by being unable to curb their shopping behavior.

In short, online shopping addiction is real, and it may be an especially relevant problem in today's climate. If any of these behaviors sound familiar to you, reach out to Life by Design Therapy for a free consultation to learn how we can help you reel in your online shopping and take back control of your life and finances.

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional.
