Emotional Backfire Spend

Definition: Buying something to feel better that actually worsens your emotional state afterward—creating guilt, regret, or shame.

Example: "That retail therapy didn’t help. Now I feel worse—plus I can’t return it."

Beast Form: 🎭 Regretling – Smiles at checkout, mocks you by delivery.

Coping Insight: Log the emotional intent before buying—even privately. Most regret-born beasts hate being named upfront. Naming the emotion weakens the spell.
