The structure combines "retail" (the sale of goods) with "therapy" (treatment for mental or emotional problems), forming a humorous compound noun that treats shopping as a form of self care. It is used to describe the act of shopping to improve one's mood or alleviate stress, often as a way to cope with bad days, boredom, or emotional lows. People typically say "I need some retail therapy" or "Retail therapy always makes me feel better" when justifying unplanned purchases.
