it sounds like you need to sort of hit your therapist over the head with it, so to speak. can you return any of the items you bought? i have found having to return stuff a humbling experience that dissuades me from doing it again. it is a BIG problem for me too. i have hardly any money for rent and stuff as it is, and even spending what i have, i haven't even paid Nov rent yet. can you do other things to occupy your time, hobbies (that don't require spending)?
as far as therapy goes, you probably need to spend some time on the subject, even if the therapist gets annoying and starts lecturing (been there too). good luck!
