Therapy is expensive, retail therapy included, but wouldn鈥檛 you rather spend a sickening amount of money on clothes you鈥檇 forget in your wardrobe than on telling a therapist that your daddy beat you for stealing sweets two decades ago, now you cry for no reason when you see sweets? Yes? Same.
Here鈥檚 why retail therapy slaps.
1. You can heal your inner child
Having adult money is wild because you can just choose to get that toy you begged your mum for every month since you turned 10, and no one will beat you for spending it. You can buy a pack of chocolates, and eat it all in a day, and no one will judge you except your dentist, and last last, they鈥檒l be fine.

3. Everyone likes new things
New things smell amazing and will instantly make you smile. Whoever made online shopping possible needs an award and a hot plate of amala. What a genius! You mean I can get what I want without moving an inch? Just thinking about the pose you鈥檒l make in the mirror when you get a new shoe or dress will brighten your day.

4. It helps you forget your worries
Sometimes, you鈥檙e sad for no reason, and no amount of food or hugs can help, but through shopping apps can ease your mind and put you in a better mood. Try planning an outfit for two hours and see if you won鈥檛 forget all your worries for a while.
5. It鈥檚 like opening a present
The best part of retail therapy is the unboxing. It鈥檚 the little thank you note for patronizing the vendor, the plans you get to make for that new box and the shot of relief when that shoe fits. All these little things can make the unboxing of your self-bought presents pretty exciting.
6. It gives you temporary joy
If you had to choose between being super sad and temporary happiness, won鈥檛 you choose to be happy? Can that new bag pay for one therapy session? Yes, but does therapy come with free sample perfumes? No, and that鈥檚 on 14 similar t-shirts in your ASOS cart.
