Episode 19 – Money & Narcissistic Abuse, part 1

I like to talk about things I’m in the middle of. I’m not good at before/after, but the messy middles – I LOVE those! I’ve dedicated 2023 to be the year I work through the foundations of my money trauma. One thing I know for sure is that narcissistic abuse creates money trauma that is independent of how much money one is able to make in their life. Rich or poor or somewhere in between, if you’ve dealt with narcissistic abuse, you’re dealing with money trauma. This first episode of a two-parter, I give some background on my money trauma and how it’s manifested in my life. I hope this helps give you some language and compassion around your own money trauma. Next week, in the 2nd part, I’ll dive into the tools I’m using to work through my money trauma and how it’s going. CW: this podcast talks about mental health and abuse openly.
