One of my clients recently labeled herself a bulimic shopper. She buys clothes, brings them home, and then returns them.

Interesting - I imagine this phenomenon is much more rampant than we think ... we just don't have a label for it. But putting an eating disorder-like label on shopping could make some women realize that they do, in fact, have some sort of problem. There's a fine line, however, between retail therapy and buying just for the sake of buying. The latter seems more problematic than the former. Any other thoughts? How do you feel about the label 'bulimic shopper'?
