Samenvatting:

Money PTSD: When Trauma Hijacks Your Finances explores the hidden psychological wounds that turn ordinary financial tasks into moments of fear, panic, and paralysis. If opening a bank app makes your heart race, if every bill feels like a threat, or if payday brings dread instead of relief, this book names what many experience but few understand: financial trauma.

Rather than offering budgets, hustle culture, or shame-based discipline, this book focuses on the nervous system-the place where financial fear actually lives. Drawing from trauma-informed insight and lived reality, it explains why logic alone fails, why "being responsible" doesn't stop panic, and why past money harm keeps replaying itself long after the crisis has passed.

This book gives readers language for their experience, tools to interrupt fear spirals, grounding techniques for panic-free banking, and gentle practices to rebuild safety with money without forcing confidence or perfection. It does not promise wealth. It promises clarity, compassion, and relief.

Money PTSD is for anyone who has survived scarcity, instability, debt, medical bills, or financial collapse-and wants peace more than pressure. Healing begins not by fixing your finances, but by teaching your nervous system that money is no longer a threat.
