In an effort to help you contextualize your behaviors and patterns so that you can be more compassionate and aware of where they are coming from, today we are looking at often overlooked behaviors of financial trauma.
We have talked about financial trauma in the past and how to manage it but today we are diving deeper.
Here are a couple signs of financial trauma:
Thoughtless Spending
Buying things because now you have the ability to do it and consistent “splurging” but regretting it later.
Anxiety when Spending
Any amount of money is too much to have to pay
Even when its for necessities, it still hurts to see the money go
Hoarding
Not wanting to let go of things for fear that you may need them sometimes maybe in the future perhaps
Buying Extra
Because you are afraid that you may come to a point again in your life when you don't have money to buy this again
Feeling Guilty
Guilt when charging more or asking for more pay/benefits
Guilt for having more
I hope this helps you contextualize your behaviors and patterns so that you can be more compassionate and aware of where they are coming from.
Remember: we can't address something we don't even know is happening– and once we do, self-compassion is what will drive out motivation for change.
And as a last note remember: none of these behaviors are intrinsically "BAD." It's only a problem if it's a problem for you.

Always cheering for you
