FINANCIAL TRAUMA/MISTAKES AND ITS SYMPTOMS

FINANCIAL TRAUMA/MISTAKES AND ITS SYMPTOMS

….and WHY it’s important to go to the (layered) cause.

NOTE: this is NOT something a big sale will erase.

Do past financial events or mistakes seem to keep haunting you…

Maybe each time you come close to making a big move, which involves a financial and/or business investment, decision, or change?

Or perhaps you struggle to trust yourself with large sums of money…

Do you feel long running anger or sadness — either from childhood or as an adult — related to a financial event that never seems to pass or relent

Do you have an irrational fear of financial loss, despite generating or having a lot of money…

You can’t help feeling like: since that day/event I’ve never trusted myself, others, God, Universe etc when it involves or comes to money

Or since that event you’ve been unable to earn more money…

Perhaps you experience general anxiety and fear related to money & business: hyper vigilance, fear of taking risks, or a general dis-ease related to money.

The latest neuroscience findings show that stress and trauma affects a person's body-mind system,

which is why I’m really adamant about addressing the body, emotions, sensory information and cognitions in an integrated manner — ESPECIALLY for professional creatives and driven business owners.

Trauma is held in the body, effecting the nervous system and the emotional body at the cellular level, and changes the brain.

This is why mindset or brain centric/based (top —> down) approaches alone can feel insufficient or incomplete — because they are.

Trauma can get very complex, meaning it can go beyond an isolated event; what happened both during and after the event must be taken into consideration as well. Trauma is how it still affects you now, meaning how it lives in your body and mind, including your well-being and state.

Did you or a parent(s) experience experience financial hardship?

Abuse or loss of a job?

An accident, death, divorce that caused huge change, including financial loss?

A bad investment/financial loss/cheated that since that day you’ve experienced a pattern that has caused you to income plateau, earn and burn, not charge more, fearful to invest, not go for what you want the way you want, pursue the work that really drives you most, or not trust others/yourself?

Did you or a parent(s) experience racism, whether growing up and later in your pursuit of a career/job/work?

Sexism, misogyny, other discrimination?

Did you or a parent(s) experience war or crisis?

If we experienced or witnessed a parent lose a job or have a threatening experience around money, it can create a lot of *unconscious* resistances/fears to transcending your safety zone which leads to self-protecting patterns.

In the context to money/business/Your Singular Work, it’s absolutely necessary to understand the impact trauma can have on your financial results, but also what's going on in your results, meaning *how* are you experiencing those results?

Are you over functioning?

Constantly in your head, analyzing and trying to control everything?

Have a hard time relaxing or experiencing pleasure for all the work you do or the money you make?

Suffer perfectionism — hardcore inner critic?

Avoid confrontation?

Are you a people pleaser?

Constantly seeking validation?

Are you achieving your desired results but stressed out and feeling compromised in your expression or the work you do or with/for whom?

Are you pushing, forcing, efforting and making no new headway: income plateaus, recurring debt cycles, earn and burn, create and destroy, getting richer but feeling more and more empty and lost.

Money can trigger a huge fight-or-flight response and can keep you from going for bigger income goals/visions/creative ideas.

This can operate unconsciously and play out powerfully through your behaviors, *especially* related to each part of your money results and *how* you experience those results.

That’s why the approach matters

And why when it comes to money, it requires specific and intentional processes to first uncover the exact unconscious cause along with a psychosomatic approach which works on multi-levels: cognitive, nervous system, and emotional cellular — simultaneously — in order to experience comprehensive, nuanced, and elevated results.
