Do you really need to go shopping?

Do you buy something because you need it or because shopping makes you feel good?

According to Dr. Marc Kern people that are addicted to shopping do so not becuase they need the object, but because the whole experience of shopping makes them feel good. "I am feeling something that I do not want to feel and this object is going to make me feel temporarily, something quite different, maybe powerful" he states. He has produced a series of videos explaining the reasons behind shopping addiction and relating them to other forms of addiction. You can consult the vidoes by following this link.
