Group Coaching

I am so glad I made the decision [to go through the twelve week course]! I gradually came to understand why I shopped the way I did and how to overcome the compulsion. Hearing the others in the group share their own experiences was extremely helpful; I didn’t feel so isolated anymore; my secret was out. -J. M., Oklahoma

I feel blessed to have found this program, where I discovered so many things. Though I had always rationalized my purchases, I hid them from my husband. In the group, I abandoned this denial—my first major victory. -S.T., Minneapolis, Minnesota

Stopping Overshopping Group Program

Group coaching can offer you the powerful, time-tested combination of peer support, encouragement, and feedback under the guidance of a trained professional. Your group experience will foster hope: members share triumphs and disappointments and grow from both, while reducing fear of judgment and humiliation.

What Will I Learn?

• Why you overshop, how it all began, your triggers, and the consequences
• Build money mindfulness to help you assess the implications of your choices
• Resist the pull of the six major shopping magnets
• Utilize the wisdom of your body, heart, mind, and spirit
• Anticipate lapses, avoid relapses, and plan for upcoming high risk situations.
• Look at shopping with a wide-angle lens by shopping for ideas and experiences and, in the process, acquiring true wealth.

The Stopping Overshopping Group Program is a 13-week educational coaching experience designed to teach specific skills, tools, and strategies to help you eliminate overshopping.
