Scarcity Trauma can feel overwhelming. 🙃 This happens when you or your parents have a personal history of limited resources. 💸 Some people hoard or pinch pennies and others spend recklessly. 🪙 It may be difficult to give away or get rid of things that you don’t need or that create clutter and distress, but doing this over time may lead to healing and progress.❤️🩹
When I started to use the term, “Scarcity Trauma” for my skits I started to hear stories of people having competitive feelings around scarcity, so I started using the term “Scarcity Envy”. 💸 Have you ever met someone who was so ashamed of their privilege that they actually envied your history of scarcity?🫱🏼🫲🏽 Scarcity can bring out a lot of complex feelings because money and economic disparities make people have awkward feelings. Money is a taboo topic for many people. 👀💰 Many people with an unstable sense of self want to claim scarcity in order to make themselves appear more interesting, complex, or more dynamic.🧐 *This page is not meant to replace current care*
