Every time we diffuse one of these situations, we're building muscle memory for the next.
What happens when shopping becomes a coping mechanism for life's stressors? In this episode of 'I Can't Stop Spending!', Susan B. dives into the critical skill of feeling your feelings to break free from compulsive spending. She shares an inspiring reading from 'Getting Out from Going Under: Daily Reader for Compulsive Debtors and Spenders', focusing on Jane, who turns to spending after a nerve-wracking job interview.
Susan explains that while shopping might offer a quick fix, it often leads to lingering guilt and shame. Instead, she encourages listeners to confront their uncomfortable emotions head-on. By doing so, you can build the resilience needed for long-term recovery. Susan also highlights practical tools like meditation and mindfulness to help you stay present and aware, making it easier to manage stress without resorting to spending.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to develop emotional strength and overcome the compulsion to spend.
