Welcome to Satori Recovery. We provide world-class rehabilitation and treatment to those who suffer from addiction, substance abuse and mental health conditions and help to regain their lives.
Shopping can become an addiction when you feel unable to control your spending, even though you recognize it’s too much. The repeated urge to shop may leave you feeling guilty, yet the compulsion makes it difficult to stop. Often, this behavior is connected to deeper struggles that need to be addressed.
Emotional triggers are another sign of shopping addiction. The excitement of making a purchase can become addictive in itself, and shopping may be used as a way to cope with or escape negative emotions.
A strong preoccupation with shopping is also a warning sign. You may find yourself constantly thinking about your next purchase or spending long periods browsing in stores or online—even when you’re not actively buying anything.
When left unaddressed, shopping addiction can have serious consequences not only for your own life but also for the lives of those who depend on you. Compulsive spending often leads to debt, and if others rely on your financial support, they too may be affected by the strain.
The financial challenges that arise—such as mounting credit card bills or unpaid debts—can create ongoing stress and add further pressure to daily life.
Shopping addiction is also frequently connected to other mental health conditions. Disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and depression may co-occur, with compulsive shopping serving as one of several symptoms of deeper underlying issues.
During treatment for shopping addiction at Satori Recovery, here’s what your treatment plan with us looks like.
Individual therapy consists of one-on-one talk therapies with a licensed therapist. These therapies will help you get to the root of your addiction and discover what’s causing your problems surrounding alcohol.
One example of individual therapy that may be used during treatment is cognitive-behavioural therapy. It’s a goal-oriented type of therapy that helps you reframe your thoughts and behaviours so that you can manage the symptoms of shopping addiction.
Group therapy is when you receive psychotherapy in a group setting. During group therapy, a therapist will guide sessions to ensure the session is productive and stays on track.
Group therapy offers several benefits beyond receiving treatment in a group setting. It’s also a way to receive peer support in a safe environment. Hearing the stories of other people can help reduce the feelings of isolation that are typically present when you’re going through addiction.
Holistic therapies aim to complement traditional therapies so that you have a more well-rounded recovery experience. These therapies may include yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and more.
These are seamlessly integrated into your programme for a deeper level of healing. Engaging in holistic therapies also helps you rediscover passions and develop interests outside of addiction.
Aftercare is always important after going through inpatient treatment. After leaving a rehab centre, you’ll be constantly exposed to triggers that can lead to relapse. Maintaining what you have started is an important part of what needs to happen after primary treatment.
Aftercare plans provide continued therapy so you’ll know how to face challenges outside of rehab properly.
