Did you know that financial trauma is the reality for about ⅓ of millennials? Yet, we tend to associate the word "trauma" with a very specific set of circumstances, often the most drastic we can think of, which then leads to people not recognizing trauma when they have it, as the result of events they maybe wouldn't have guessed. Talk about a mind-f*ck, right?
Lots of people have intense stress, paranoia, expectations, fears and concepts about money and finances. Money can mean security, safety, status, or power. It can also be interpreted as worthiness. There are so many unconscious ideas embedded in our relationship to money, that it only makes sense that financial trauma is common, yet such a taboo topic that nobody wants to talk about.
Millennials are disproportionately affected by financial trauma, for a multitude of reasons. Although there isn't anything we can do to change the past, learning what's causing constant money stress can help to break the cycle. Tune in this week as Cat shares her own personal experiences on how she was able to overcome her money traumas & dishes out some advice on how you can do the same.
