Exploring Healthy Struggles, Inner Confidence, and Money Trauma

Healthy struggles are essential for children's development, as they foster the inner confidence needed to navigate life's challenges. These struggles, characterized by emotional, practical, relational, and life skills, must involve active support from parents to transform into confidence-building experiences. Unlike unhealthy struggles such as trauma, addiction, and neglect, which lack supportive companionship, healthy adversity is a collaborative journey. Additionally, money trauma plays a significant role in shaping personal identity and decision-making throughout life, stemming from childhood experiences with financial circumstances. This form of trauma can arise from both wealth and poverty, influencing beliefs about money, self-worth, and security. Recognizing and addressing money trauma is crucial, as it remains a persistent influence in one’s life, unlike other traumas that one seeks to overcome or heal from.
