Why Money Feels So Scary

If you avoid checking your bank account, feel ashamed talking about money, or believe that no matter what you do it will never be enough - this book is for you. Why Money Feels So Scary is a compassionate, psychology-based guide to understanding the roots of financial anxiety. Most books about money tell you what to do with it. This one asks a different question: why does money make you feel the way it does?Drawing on financial therapy, behavioral psychology, and real human stories, this book walks you through the origins of your money fears, the emotions hidden behind your financial habits, and the patterns of avoidance that keep so many of us stuck.
Through ten chapters and over twenty reflective exercises, you will explore where your money story began, what shame and avoidance are costing you, how to face your financial reality with honesty and compassion, and how to begin building a relationship with money that feels safe rather than terrifying. This is not a budgeting book. It is a book about what happens inside you when money comes up - and how to change it, one honest step at a time.
