Why Checking Your Bank Account Feels Like a Heart Attack (And You’re Not Broken)

 


Why Checking Your Bank Account Feels Like a Heart Attack (And You’re Not Broken)

Have you ever felt your chest tighten just seeing a bank notification? You haven’t even opened it, but your body already feels like something bad is about to happen. That reaction isn’t laziness, irresponsibility, or weakness. It’s your nervous system remembering a time when money meant danger. When bills meant loss. When one number could change everything.


Many people live with what I call Money PTSD—where past financial stress keeps replaying itself in the present. Even when things are “okay,” your body doesn’t believe it yet. Every bill feels urgent. Every purchase feels risky. Every paycheck feels temporary. This isn’t just anxiety. It’s trauma doing what it learned to do: protect you.


Money PTSD: When Trauma Hijacks Your Finances isn’t about getting rich or fixing spreadsheets. It’s about calming the fear that shows up before logic has a chance. It explains why budgeting alone doesn’t work, why shame makes things worse, and how to slowly teach your nervous system that money doesn’t have to feel like a threat anymore.


If money has ever made you feel frozen, ashamed, or panicked, this book was written for you. Healing doesn’t start with discipline. It starts with understanding. And peace is possible—one calm moment at a time.
