Book Synopsis



A handbook to disempower the trauma standing between individuals and their financial wellbeing

The Trauma of Money: Mapping Compassionate Pathways to Healing Financial Trauma and Disempowering Financial Shame offers a comprehensive exploration of the Trauma of Money Method(TM), an innovative six-phase approach to decrease shame and increase discernment around money. It spotlights the myriad causes of financial trauma, tracing its roots to their generational, relational, societal, and systemic origins, and guides readers in understanding how trauma directly impacts our financial behaviors. Changing the narratives that come with these traumas is the first step in recognizing that true financial literacy hinges on this foundational healing. This book includes research-based modalities to transform readers' approaches to finances, including somatic trauma healing, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, internal family systems, addiction recovery therapies, biomimicry, systems change and financial psychology. It also includes practical tools such as:

  • Reflection questions and prompts to intentionally evolve our relationship with money and scarcity as well as tools for addressing financial shame
  • Methods to identify and shift away from trauma responses like financial fawning, somatic exercises to regulate the nervous system, and ways to reprogram our subconscious
  • Approaches to reclaim and deepen the commitment to our money values and integration activities that can be used with clients

The Trauma of Money: Mapping Compassionate Pathways to Healing Financial Trauma and Disempowering Financial Shame is an illuminating, effective resource for financial advisors and planners, mental health professionals, entrepreneurs, or anyone seeking to move out of automatic trauma responses and into their financial power.



From the Back Cover



Praise for The TRAUMA of MONEY

"The Trauma of Money is the book we all need! Whether you're a consumer, a provider, or both, the insights in these pages will help free you from the treadmill you didn't realize you were stuck on. Too often, we internalize the failures of capitalism and ask ourselves, 'What's wrong with me?' This book offers a powerful, compassionate answer, while breaking down how, where, and why money can be so traumatic. We'll all be better off mentally, emotionally, and financially for reading this gem."
--AJA EVANS, Financial Therapist, president-elect of the Financial Therapy Association, and author of Feel-Good Finance

"The Trauma of Money is a compassionate, unflinching exploration of how our financial struggles are often rooted in unprocessed trauma rather than personal failure. Chantel bridges the gap between individual healing and systemic awareness in a way that's rare and urgently needed. I believe every person and practitioner should have this trauma-informed, financially wise, and deeply humanizing book on their shelf."
--SILVY KHOUCASIAN, Relationship Coach

"Our parents are our first teachers of money. I am among the lucky. My mother said 'Spend money, but don't waste it.' My father opened a savings account for me and doubled any money I deposited. Others are unlucky, suffering the trauma of money. A friend witnessed his parents' marriage dissolve over money. His father was a spender, his mother was a saver. You can overcome your trauma of money, and Chantel Chapman's wonderful book The Trauma of Money, will show you the way."
--MEIR STATMAN, Glenn Klimek Professor of Finance, and author of A Wealth of Well-Being: A Holistic Approach to Behavioral Finance

"The Trauma of Money challenges the myth that financial struggles are personal failings. Chantel Chapman, with insights from leading experts, offers a powerful path to healing and reclaiming financial agency."
--FARNOOSH TORABI, Host of So Money and author of A Healthy State of Panic

"After decades working in the financial sector, on Wall Street, in philanthropy, and as an investor; I've seen that no amount of wealth or experience shields us from the emotional barriers we face around money. The Trauma of Money names what so many feel but can't articulate and offers a path toward greater financial health and agency."
--JACKI ZEHNER, Founder at SheMoney, Investor, Philanthropist, and Former Partner at Goldman Sachs
