@anabela B there is pretty limited evidence for treatment of personality disorders into complete remission. The nature of NPD is that people don’t think they have a problem. BPD can be helped by DBT and sometimes medications. They call him a “psychological coach” because he’s not a treating psychologist who is formally diagnosing. I’m not saying these people don’t possibly have these highly dysfunctional personality disorders but I don’t think we are given enough evidence to make that conclusion. I’m a psychiatrist btw.

That second hand makes you look poor instead of it being better for the environment. To them its an insult to their ego. The trouble is its all in the upbringing, if the child is allowed to get away with certain behaviours they will act that way in adulthood and it seems like she has been pampered as a child and just given things when she wants them.

Not all sales people at luxury shops are like that (some definitelly are though). I am very frugal and get most of my stuff in second hand stores (some of those are designer ofc, but still outdated in professional's eye I think) and on sales, yet when I bought my designer bag as a treat for achieving milestone I set for myself, everyone at the store was very nice to me and we even chatted about where I thrifted my designer coat haha. Where I think most of sales staff at these shops would start judging you is if you started to just rummage around their products and gave the impression that you are not a serious buyer. I bought 4 more designer items after that and every time it was a super pleasant experience so I'd say that as long as you are there to spend money, they will treat you nice and with respect most of the time. :-) However, completely different thing is that you may feel weird and like you don't fit in, but that is something that no sales person can change because it is your personal insecurity (been there too and it changed when I challenged myself to stop using makeup on my acne prone skin and learnt that 90% of the strangers won't even notice, let alone give you weird looks or comments).

It's like she just assumes because there is a designer label on it, the garment should automatically be "better" regardless of the actual merits of the object itself. There is a lack of analysis required for determining cost per wear and improvement of overall appearance.

Hello 👋 from 🇺🇸 I just want to say i really enjoy watching this show it helps me not spend so much money and really think about the important and useful things that you need in your life I have an addiction to buying anything especially clothing or makeup and skincare. I would really enjoy see a show like this in the USA i know there is millions of people out there that are in alot of debt and they just don't want to admit it. Thank you for helping me im very grateful and thankful..

​@@katemiller7874she does not look like a model, and even if she did, why does she have to look down her nose at the more affordable shops? If she was earning the salary of a successful model, then fair enough, but she isn't. If she wants Designer pieces then she should save up for them, otherwise get off your high horse and 'slum' it like the rest of us! As for 'thrift' shops, they're called charity shops in England, I.e. the money goes to help a needy cause. One can find Designer clothes at bargain prices. Also, expensive brands don't equal style or good taste. Her outfits are so boring.

Can't walk into a cheaper store because of her "phobia" and only buys designer everything? She craves attention more than anything else.

i lovee recycling clothes, and making clothes too. its amazing for the environment and you can make clothes that you actually love not just a copy and paste of someone else in the street

Why is it so hard for you to believe her phobia is real? People are traumatized by even weirder stuff. It's like the guy said going into discount shops breaks her fantasy that she isn't rich and is actually seriously in debt. If i had that much debt I would be scared as shit too, and do everything to pretend it doesn't exist.

If you want to spend a lot you gotta make a lot!

I remember this episode, this programme should be revived. I speak to so many work colleagues who are shockingly shite with money, eg, one of them has spent £13k over their working years on subway lunches ,they've not been working that long - they're in their twenties. It's interesting how she has a strop when it's pointed out the T shirts are pretty much the same - just a bit shallow if you ask me - fur coat, no knickers. Too many people are like that - fed by the media, Joey Essex wannabes! Stop world I want to get off.

Until then stay away from the keyboard and go play with your dolls.

The charity that she works for needs to dump her. Overpaying a rude, arrogant, aggressive, violent and entitled idiot.

For someone with a minimal salary she's got quite expensive taste. My salary is almost twice as her and there is no way I can blow a thousand in one day. And I help my parents. I could never take money from my parents. And I know what's it like to have a sick parent since forever. She cultivated this bratty persona that is alergic to regular shops and doesn't understand that most of the high end stuff are made with the same fabric.

If I were in Jay's shoes and that girl walked out on me, Swearing like a sailor, after the 't-shirt test', I would start back helping her until AFTER she apologized; and I would remind her of who needs whom. Jay is a better woman than I... and I'm, typically, a pretty laid-back, patient person.

Something to think about : When Jay is negotiating their cold turkey budget, these people NEVER think about how much they'll need for necessities, not even a ballpark figure for food or petrol. They just dont think about it and stare at the ceiling. A sensible person would do some maths to figure it out, not one person even thinks that way.

That's the therapist's theory in every episode, that there's something deeply emotional causing the spending habits. The real cause here, at least as I see it, is the fact that her father died, which means one less person to answer to, in terms of spending habits. As for her mother, I've seen people behave like her, thinking of the money she borrowed, not as a loan, but as an antecipated inheritance.
