Crossword Genius

Suspend courier showing obsessions (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hang-ups

'obsessions' is the definition.
(hang-up can mean a neurosis or obsession)

'suspend courier' is the wordplay.
'suspend' becomes 'hang' (to hang is to suspend from something).
'courier' becomes 'UPS' (US delivery company).
'hang'+'ups'='HANG-UPS'

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for hang-ups that I've seen before include "In slang, emotional problems or inhibitions" , "Psychological problems" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
