TRAUMA THE HIDDEN COST- Breaking the Cycle of Trauma and Financial Struggles

Healing from Poverty: Breaking the Cycle of Trauma and Financial Struggles is a transformative guide that explores the profound connection between childhood trauma and its impact on financial well-being. In this book, Terence Phiri delves deep into how the absence of essential emotional nurturing in childhood—such as love, value, esteem, safety, and guidance—can lay the foundation for a poverty-stricken mindset that affects every aspect of life, including relationships, career choices, spending habits, and overall financial growth.
Drawing from personal experience, Terence opens up about his own journey of trauma and its effects on his self-image and financial struggles. He explains how childhood wounds, often stemming from neglect, abandonment, or emotional pain, can distort our perception of self-worth, creating a cycle of scarcity that hinders financial success. Even when opportunities are presented and good people are around, the trauma that remains in the subconscious mind can lead individuals to sabotage their own success due to deep-seated feelings of unworthiness.
Through this book, readers are encouraged to look beyond their immediate financial challenges and explore how their past influences their present behaviors. Terence introduces the concept of the "seven essentials"—value, unconditional love, God or people who represent God, esteem, singularity, safety and security, and emotional nurturing—and highlights how the absence of these foundational elements during childhood can result in a lack of self-image and financial prosperity.
The book goes beyond theory and offers practical tools, exercises, and actionable strategies for healing emotional wounds, overcoming financial trauma, and building a healthy relationship with money. It empowers individuals to reclaim their worth, recognize their potential, and break free from the cycle of poverty that holds them back.
By understanding the link between trauma and financial struggles, Healing from Poverty provides hope and practical steps to change one's mindset, develop healthy financial habits, and embrace an abundant life. Whether you're struggling with debt, poor financial decisions, or self-doubt, this book offers a path to healing, self-discovery, and empowerment to create lasting wealth and fulfillment.
Ultimately, Healing from Poverty is a journey of not only financial recovery but emotional and spiritual renewal, helping you unlock the life of abundance that is your birthright. It is a call to heal, grow, and rewrite your financial narrative—one where prosperity is not just a dream, but a reality.
