Addressing Chronic Financial Pain, Part 3
Episode 3
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026
Addressing Chronic Financial Pain, Part 3Continuing our series, this episode adapts powerful, evidence-based tools from chronic physical pain management to chronic financial pain management. First, we explore mindfulness-based stress reduction, teaching you how to observe your financial pain without judgment, distinguish it from self-inflicted suffering, and use techniques like "urge surfing" to master impulsive habits. To combat the paralyzing "boom-and-bust" cycle of financial fatigue, we introduce activity pacing, a method for breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps to prevent burnout. For those stuck in complete inaction, discover behavioral activation, a strategy that uses impossibly small, concrete actions—like transferring $1—to build momentum and break the cycle of avoidance. Tune in for a practical toolkit that will help you move from a state of being overwhelmed to one of empowered, gentle action on your path to financial wellness.Links to previous episodes:Financial Skill-Building: MindfulnessFinancial Skill-Building: Distress ToleranceFinancial Skill-Building: Emotion RegulationFinancial Skill-Building: Interpersonal Effectiveness
