Jan 24, 2024
The link between mental health, traumatic experiences, and financial decisions is intricate. In this blog, we'll unravel the emotional tug-of-war, the storm clouds overhead, and the invisible scripts that influence our financial paths.
Emotional Tug-of-War:
Our emotions often act as opposing forces in financial decisions. Anxiety, depression, or past trauma can create a tug-of-war, influencing choices that range from impulsive spending to overly cautious saving.
Storm Clouds Overhead:
Traumatic experiences cast a shadow, impacting our financial skies. The aftermath may include financial instability, debt, or strained relationships as we navigate the storm clouds formed by past traumas.
Invisible Scripts:
Unseen scripts, formed by our experiences and mental health, guide financial decisions. These invisible narratives can lead to self-sabotage or unconscious patterns, influencing our relationship with money.
