Ever felt that financial stress digs deeper than just the numbers in your bank account? You’re not alone. In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into financial therapy, a unique field that merges therapeutic insights with financial know-how to help you change how you think, feel, and behave with money.
We’ll start by defining what financial therapy is and how it’s different from traditional financial advice. You’ll discover that it’s not just for extreme cases, but for anyone struggling with financial anxiety, compulsive shopping, or a complete avoidance of dealing with money. We'll also explore why it can be particularly helpful for individuals with ADHD, who face unique challenges with planning and impulse control.
Next, we'll unpack the core concepts and techniques that get to the root of your financial struggles:
The Money Blueprint: You'll learn how the messages you received about money in childhood can become subconscious scripts that drive your behavior and lead to self-sabotage.
The Financial Genogram: We'll explain a tool that's like a family tree, but for financial behaviors, helping you uncover and rewrite the money scripts you’ve inherited.
The Power of the Pause: You'll discover a key technique to break the cycle of emotional spending, and other proven methods like CBT that challenge unhelpful money thoughts.
Finally, we'll provide a practical roadmap for finding help and making a commitment to your financial well-being. This deep dive is your guide to understanding your relationship with money, healing from financial trauma, and reclaiming your freedom.
Tune in to discover the one money script that might be subtly running the show in your financial life right now, and what it might look like to start rewriting it.
