Shopping around for a cure? (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retail therapy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shopping' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for a cure?' is the wordplay.
'for a' becomes 'retail' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cure?' becomes 'therapy' (cure is a kind of therapy).
'retail'+'therapy'='RETAIL THERAPY'

'around' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retail therapy that I've seen before include "Shopping, facetiously" , "spending for treatment?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
