Suggest Treatment For Impulse Control Syndrome

default
Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2014
Question: I have a problem with impulse control. I'm out of control alot when it comes to spending money. I continually shop with money I don't have -- credit. I know I shouldn't but I can't seem to help it. Then I get buyers remorse and have to take things back which is very embarrassing to me. I also have arguments with my husband often because of this. I also pick at myself alot -- almost continually throughout the day. I know I should get back into therapy, but do not have insurance at the time. Any suggestions would be helpful (e.g. books to read, websites, etc.). Thank you for your time.
