I Have PTSD. Here's What It Did To My Finances.

Nobody in finance talks about this.  How trauma responses — freeze, flight, fight, fawn — show up in your financial decisions. And what they're actually costing you.  In this episode I share something personal: I have PTSD from experiences in my teenage years. And for a long time I didn't connect that to my finances.  Looking back — it was there in everything.  This episode covers:  — What a trauma response actually is (and why it's not what most people think)  — How freeze, flight, fight and fawn show up specifically in financial behaviour  — The fawn response — the one that costs women the most and gets talked about the least  — Three practical financial steps to take alongside therapy  — Why you cannot separate your nervous system from your bank account  If you're working through difficult experiences, please reach out to a qualified therapist.  —  General Advice Warning: This podcast contains general information only and does not take into account your personal circumstances, objectives or needs.
