Financial Self Care
Module 4: Transforming relationships and experiences with money
This week we talk about Financial Self Care. We know mental health challenges and suicidality are often linked to acute Financial Stressors. We also know from the regular updates we are getting from mental health authorities that they are worried about Australians' mental health as we reopen Australia for business. So it is important we become aware of financial stressors in our lives as it is an important part of Self Care.
Studies from the field of behavioural economics have also exposed the irrationality of some of our financial decision making such as 'retail therapy' when we are feeling blue.. Why do we buy because we are sad for example?
These same studies also highlight how we can manage these inherent biases. Our mental accounting does not work logically like the cells in a spreadsheet.
