ABOUT FINANCIAL TRAUMA

Financial Trauma isn't just about money; it's about lived experiences, cultural narratives, and emotional wounds that shape how we think, feel, and act with our finances.
Financial Trauma is any instance, observed or experienced, that has a negative impact on the way someone views, interacts with, or believes about money.
Financial trauma is often a lasting emotional or psychological wound caused by severe financial hardship, such as poverty, debt, or financial abuse.
Financial trauma causes stress responses like panic, avoidance (not opening bills), or hypervigilance (constantly checking money), affecting about 68% of U.S. adults.
Healing from financial trauma often involves therapy and building healthier financial habits.
