Aja Evans advises seeking professional help from a financial therapist if experiencing severe anxiety, panic attacks, or persistent money mistakes despite having financial education. She notes that such professionals can help manage anxiety and break negative patterns that individuals struggle to overcome on their own.
“So I would say if you find yourself really really anxious, So if you are, you can't sleep, you have your stomach hurts, you're having trouble breathing, If you're having anxiety attacks or panic attacks, especially about your money, definitely seek out a financial therapist, specifically one that may have clinical background so they can help work you through some of those anxiety attacks or panic attacks.”
“I would also say, if you find yourself just doing the same thing over and over again, if you feel like you are, you know you've listened, you have the personal finance education, but you keep making the same money mistakes, you keep beating yourself up about it. It's the same pattern happening over and over again. I would definitely get in touch with the financial therapist.”
