Lily Allen Reveals Shocking Addiction and How Therapy Is Helping Her

by

Lily Allen is getting help for a shopping problem. The singer shared in a recent episode of her podcast, “Miss Me?,” released on December 22nd, that she’s currently in therapy to manage her spending habits.

During the show, Allen discussed how therapy is helping her manage her spending. She revealed she recently had an EMDR therapy session focused on this issue. “We worked on connecting my spending to my self-worth and trying to untangle the two,” she explained, adding that she’s hopeful the therapy will be effective.

Allen also explained the underlying reason for her actions, admitting to listeners, “I believe I subconsciously try to get rid of money because I don’t feel worthy of it.”

Allen explained to Miquita Oliver that she’s been having EMDR therapy. She described it as a treatment that uses stimulation on both sides of the brain to help create new mental connections, particularly when dealing with difficult experiences or behaviors. It can be used to process trauma or challenging interactions with others.

The singer recently started EMDR therapy – about four or five months ago – and says it’s been incredibly beneficial. She described it as “life changing” and shared how much she appreciates the treatment. However, she emphasized that she’s simply sharing what’s worked for her personally, not offering medical guidance. “I’m not a doctor, so I’m not qualified to give advice,” she explained, “but this is what’s helping me right now.”

Allen openly talked about how difficult managing money can be for some, and how therapy can help uncover the root causes of these challenges.
