Money Trauma
An anti-capitalist approach to
healing money trauma
Healing money trauma in therapy goes beyond budgets and spreadsheets, it’s about understanding how your nervous system, relationships, history, and larger systems have shaped your relationship with safety, worth, power, and choice.
Money carries stories of scarcity, shame, survival, caretaking, and inherited beliefs that often live in the body long before they show up in behavior.
In our work together, we gently explore the emotional and somatic roots of money patterns, build capacity for regulation and agency, and untangle old survival strategies that may no longer serve you.
Money stress is rarely just personal!
it’s shaped by capitalism, inequality, family survival patterns, and chronic nervous system activation. Healing money trauma in therapy means reclaiming agency, safety, and values-based choice while releasing shame and hyper-responsibility. We work slowly, relationally, and with deep respect for your body’s intelligence.
This is non-pathologizing, trauma-informed care that honors your values, supports sustainable change, and helps you create a relationship with money that feels steadier, more spacious, and aligned with the life you actually want.
