Financial Triggers and What It Means You Need To Heal From

Do you ever find yourself facing unexpected emotional reactions when it comes to money matters? 

You're not alone. Financial triggers often stem from deeper emotional issues or past experiences, and understanding them is the first step towards healing and achieving financial freedom.

As highly sensitive, high-earning achievers, you may resonate with these triggers more than most. That's why I'm excited to share insights on common financial triggers and how addressing them can lead to profound transformation in your relationship with money.

Understanding Financial Triggers: What They Mean and How to Heal

1. Fear of Losing Money: Need to Heal From past instability, abandonment, or scarcity. This fear often reflects a deeper anxiety about being left alone or unsupported.
2. Anxiety When Spending Money: Need to Heal From guilt associated with using resources or past experiences of not having enough. This can also come from early teachings that spending money is inherently bad or dangerous.
3. Resistance to Checking Bank Accounts: Need to Heal From avoidance behavior linked to fear of facing reality, possibly stemming from past traumas where the individual felt powerless or overwhelmed.
4. Discomfort Discussing Finances with Partners or Family: Need to Heal From previous conflicts over money, fear of judgment, or a sense of inadequacy. This can also stem from witnessing financial conflicts in childhood.
5. Impulse Buying: Need to Heal From emotional neglect or unmet needs. Impulse buying can be a coping mechanism for dealing with unaddressed emotional pain or seeking instant gratification to fill a void.
6. Hoarding Money: Need to Heal From deep-seated fears of future poverty or crises, possibly from experiences of significant loss or deprivation in the past.
7. Overworking and Never Feeling Financially Secure: Need to Heal From beliefs tied to self-worth and success, where one may feel they must constantly earn and accumulate to prove their worth or feel safe.
8. Fear of Investing: Need to Heal From fear of making mistakes or failing, often linked to past experiences where mistakes had high consequences or where the individual was overly criticized.
9. Feeling Worthless Unless Earning Money: Need to Heal From conditional love based on achievements, where self-esteem is heavily tied to productivity and financial success.
10. Sabotaging Financial Success When It Arrives: Need to Heal From fear of success, which can be deeply tied to feelings of unworthiness or an unconscious alignment with familial patterns of struggle.
