Dlaczego nie umiesz przestać kupować?

Why can't you stop buying—even though you promise yourself "this is the last time"? In this episode, I explain the mechanics of compulsive buying. I'll talk about: – how shopping becomes a way to numb emotions, – what the vicious cycle in the CBT model (situation–thoughts–emotions–body–behavior) looks like, – what brain science and the reward system say about compulsive shopping, – what schemas (e.g., shame, emotional deprivation, abandonment) often underlie impulsive buying, – what specific steps you can take to begin regaining control over your spending and emotions. This material is not a judgment of your choices, but an attempt to understand why this happens in the first place—and what you can realistically do about it. If you notice elements of compulsive buying in yourself, remember: it's often a way to cope with pain, not a "whim." You can work with this – step by step. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel if you want more content about psychology, behavioral addictions, emotions, and self-improvement.
