Hi guys, I will never ask you to text or Whatsapp me. If you see any such comment, even with the picture being mine, kindly ignore and report that comment. It is scammers and bots trying to get to some of you. The right channels to reach me are always linked in the description box, that is, my website and email address.
As a psychologist, I am thrilled to hear you tell us how the subconscious/unconscious affects our financial behavior. This is very informative and eye opening. Thank you.
Susan Thank YOU. I am completely locked in fear because of financial trauma and at 33 I'm finally realizing where my fear is rooted. Blamed family problems and so many other things. But the scarcity mindset, avoidance personality etc speaks so much to me. I deeply am in a poverty trauma state. Ruining relationships friends etc etc etc etc etc
I think money&poverty trauma can also arise in adulthood in a season in which finances just don't seem to come together for a good couple of years and so one is forced to literally live from hand to mouth and just do with the bare minimum. It's a traumatizing experience both in childhood and adulthood. Totally loved your take on this topic, puts things into perspective.
I am an avoider. I pay with visa so as to shop however I want and I won't check the bank balance. On point 2. Inaitwa kushtua umaskini😄 totally relate to that. Leo I've commented a lot aki. I'm growing, learning and healing 😊
I like the poncho you wearing. Do you crotchet? And yes we were told "Where will the money come from?" or "You think money grows on tree?" Today I tell my children "I will not spend money on that at this time". No talk about lack or can not. Then they know that money is more about choice. Thank for being open.
Just realizing my trauma is rooted in childhood lack (even though we weren't poor) and partially having self worth attached to material things. I'm deliberately working on the 2nd one but the 1st one will take time
I actually relate to you aki😫😫i guess am currently in that stage of 'money trauma' facing the real world is scary and adapting is really hard. But I know I've got it. Am working around my issues and believe all will be well.
What an eye opener, I think my poverty trauma started from childhood never having enough so I grew up becoming a chronic saver, invested some money and lost it. Since then I've just been traumatized about investment or saving. I began to overspend my money bcus at the back of my mind i'm thinking that I may lose the money so it's better for me to just spend it. Basically I went from chronic saver to chronic spender. Both extremes have not been easy for me.
I have watched this video over and over, and every time i open i get financial ads that i cant just skip. the knowledge i have gained from this channel is so vast. Thank you Susan.
I'm known in my family as a money horder, I hold on tight yet I grew up with plenty. I bet I'm fearful of what tough times can bring, so I'd rather hold my money closer to my chest....learning to loosen up. You are a gem lady, keep soaring.
Financial and poverty trauma is so real for most of us, unconsciously affecting so much of our behavior, investments options, Now that am self aware of the triggers ,signs when they pop up when am making decisions .I try my best to equip myself with abundance affirmations.
I find it hard to part with money. I even get myself the cheapest thing although it's not always the best. I feel like my mind is spinning looking for getting the cheapest things. I feel so frustrated and afraid to leave my toxic job because I am afraid to not have money.
As I listened I know I am currently in that stage of debunking the unhealthy beliefs and experiences. I relate with this so well, its even traumatizing to go down the memory lane 😭 Thank you Susan 😊
I can relate to this episode. The trauma over money is way too high on me. I try to infest but not to my full potential. The trauma has caused me to lose a lot of money in the hands of people trusting they are the best than me just because they are doing better in finances. Thank you for the insight. It’s time for a turnaround.
What's crazy is I have extremely uncomfortable about talking about money. But at the same time I overspend on trips to overcompensate for not having when I was a child BUT at the same time I Underspend horribly towards myself. Clothes are extremely old. Don't even get haircuts etc or do anything for self. Its wild hearing it from you because now my feelings have an understanding
I can relate with this money trauma thing 100%. I'm also at a point I feel super exhausted with employment. Stagnation, I really want a new challenge. I feel like this topic is for me. Thank you for your good tips. I am your new sub and I like this content. Checking out your other videos 💯🤎
Hi Susan , I relate with your content. My first job i thought it was everything until i also lost it. I am working in a different company and still believe for a better financial tomorrow. Atleast i have been working on my financial mindset of scarcity. I can say am getting better everyday. Thanks for your content.
💯 legit content.Mimi I was a penny pincher but I would oscillate to philanthropist without a limit Pia friends who are spenders can run down your finances( Case in point rappers an their crew...Everything is on the rapper's tab)
I love this content. You're hitting the nail with the reality of money and abundance out there. Many people say if you're doing well in life/follow your purpose, then you can't be broke or experience financial lack. Many people also say finances are about energy, if money doesn't stick than YOU are doing things wrong. I find these views and popcorn theories so disheartening and ignorant. People are missing the many layers of truth when it comes to money matters. I love how you've done this video and I'm sorry about your financial trauma. May abundance contintinuously flow to you.
I have been having several debts and I have been feeling intimidated wherever I hear about money matters is discussed.But now I feel encouraged to find a solution to get out of debt head on.
Wow indeed money trauma is real... mine was or rather is spending spending spending to things that I don't even need... I have clothes I bought three years ago have never worn 😒🤒 that's how serious it is... I had this slogan " tumia pesa ikuzoee" waah never want to budget or think ahead on financial issues... I have today I spend it🥺 I need to fix me... thanks beautiful you such a blessing 🙌 💗 💖 May God bless you always 🙏🏼
What an eye opener. Now I know that the relationship that landed me overindebted left me money traumatized. On my pay day I would visit all my creditors to make payment (that was prior to online banking era) otherwise all my peace will vanish until I find time to pay. Should I not pay all of them after work, then tomorrow morning I will report late to work paying them. This was because I was afraid that something would happen and I might end up not paying my debt obligations. I was so anxious/traumatized that I would monthly rework on my debt payment plan spreadsheet. Sometimes I would open that spreadsheet and look at it with frozen mind. I only thank God that He healed me even though I didn't know that I was SICK.
I Watched this over the weekend and av learned that am a money hoarder and have been living like a homeless person. growing up we didn't have much so I have always had this fear of spending and investing. its time to make a change
I don't like money conversations unless we are very close am very private in money matters even when others are complaining about being broke i prefer being silent and others talking about how much they investing I still go silent so nobody exactly knows much about me and money and it affects me both positively and negatively others think am rich others assume I don't go broke 😂😂 even when am broke ...I just look money.
True story! Poverty mentality is real. Sometimes it's also tied to lack of faith in God. Where I fail to trust that God can take care of me so I save save save without a purpose except that I will never be broke. Does not help, if anything it is a recipe for disaster. I am learning that being a good steward starts with knowing my master. I have enjoyed the talk, just slow down in your presentation so that one does not miss the good points. You talk fast
Your story really resonates with me. Like, 100%. Growing up in scarcity really did a number on me. Thank God I was able to break free as well. Your advise on how anyone can do the same is spot on. Thank you for sharing.
I just followed you from last and I don't regret your presentation are very helpful and today's topic was so me I am still struggling with money or poverty traume but trying to fight although it seems difficult We love you here in South Africa
Hi Susan, First of all, thank you for making this video. It's such an eye opener. May you excel higher in what you do. Now, I am at a point where I feel like I need to talk to someone like a therapist and just flash out the money traumas that I have been holding. Like you I grew up in poverty and everything you've talked bout resonates with me 100%. Kindly recommend me a therapist I can talk to because you have a deep understanding of what someone like me actually needs. Thank you.
You literally talked about me 😅😅 Weuh Listening to you have indeed made me realize i have financial trauma as much i have started the saving journey. I would previously spend on myself but now it has become such a hustle because i thought that in order to save you stop spending. I have so many things that I need to check on that you have mentioned. Thankyou so much.
Thankful to you Susan ...I was just going through a similar but also really deep old school info of ...the gate keepers of our financial system.... Am sharing here since both you and the work of Sevan Bomar in matters how the mind is over matter are key....
OMG the underspending sector and the money conversation😅....100000% guilty!!!am glad am seeing this at 20 years old so am really learning from you.Keep winning Chiku
A VERY insightful ,truth revealing and timely episode!! Thank you for this!!! You mentioned something about overcoming money/financial trauma during therapy. Any financial therapist(s) you could recommend ?
I sincerely love what u do...i love the way u articulate ua points was poor in maths so i cld not study finance/ accounts it remains a dream till today
I get anxious about spending money especially on myself.I think Because my money decisions were always questioned and constantly being told that I am not good with money.
When I do get money I get so anxious and confused about what to do with it. I need to heal. The first part is that I have to accept the I have the trauma. It stems from the financial difficulties I experienced as a child with my parents.

I also wondered when did Susan start doing crypto currency as the person behind the message was talking about crypto
@@MugabiJB It’s scammers. Beware!
What’s your email address??
I love your poshawl. How can I get one?
I also like it.. Let me know if you get leads.
There's truly power in storytelling, i always thought you were a rich kid 🤑 I'm inspired and encouraged
Oh wow! Really? 😂😂😂 Not a rich kid at all. It’s a good thing we don’t look like what we’ve been through! 🙌🏽
As a psychologist, I am thrilled to hear you tell us how the subconscious/unconscious affects our financial behavior. This is very informative and eye opening. Thank you.
i agree too
How do people get in touch with you?
Susan Thank YOU. I am completely locked in fear because of financial trauma and at 33 I'm finally realizing where my fear is rooted. Blamed family problems and so many other things. But the scarcity mindset, avoidance personality etc speaks so much to me. I deeply am in a poverty trauma state. Ruining relationships friends etc etc etc etc etc
Bro I feel you but don't be discouraged your 33, I'm 54 and still struggling with it. Its a mindset shift, you got this. I'm rooting for you bro!!!

Very valid point, mine definitely came from my early adulthood
I am an avoider. I pay with visa so as to shop however I want and I won't check the bank balance.
On point 2. Inaitwa kushtua umaskini😄 totally relate to that.
Leo I've commented a lot aki.

This was so good! I realize how much financial trauma I have, that I didn't even know. 🙏🏾
I totally understand where you're coming from,the 1st time i was asked how much i wanted to be paid,I said 15k.
It felt like 15million
I answered 9k
