Breaking Money Silence

April Lane Benson, Ph.D,  ShopaholicNoMore.com More than 18 million Americans are shopaholics and the myth that shopping can buy happiness permeates our society. Join Dr. Benson and Kathleen as they talk about compulsive buying and how your mindset about shopping can be part of the problem, and part of the solution. Dr. Benson explains how shopping is actually a process of searching (for a life partner, a travel experience, or an adventure) and how she uses this concept to help clients recover from this financially devastating disease. April Lane Benson, Ph.D., is a nationally known psychologist, in practice in New York City for more than 35 years, who specializes in the treatment of compulsive buying disorder. She is the author of several books including her most recent one To Buy or Not To Buy: Why We Overshop and How to Stop. April offers treatment and group coaching, both in person, on the telephone, and trains therapists who want to learn her model of treating shopping addictions. April can be reached
