It’s not a mindset block—it’s a body memory.

Why Wealth  Feels Unsafe for a Dysregulated Nervous System

Let’s be real—

You say you want wealth. But when it starts to come in… you sabotage. Avoid. Shrink.

This isn’t self-sabotage.

It’s self-protection. Your nervous system was never taught that abundance is safe.

Dysregulation = survival mode

If your body’s used to chaos, struggle, or scarcity— then peace, success, or wealth can feel like danger.

Signs wealth feels unsafe to you:

- You overspend to release pressure - You undercharge or feel guilty receiving - You procrastinate on growth - You feel “numb” after success

Your body remembers scarcity

Even if your mind wants expansion, your body still flinches from what feels “too much,” “too fast,” or “too good.”

Wealth requires nervous system safety

Abundance isn’t just numbers— it’s the capacity to hold more without shutting down.

Start with regulation, not strategy

Before fixing your budget or building funnels— breathe. Ground. Regulate your system to feel safe with receiving.

Practice nervous system wealth tolerance

- Visualize having more—without doing more - Breathe into the fear of being seen - Somatic work to expand your “having” capacity

Repeat until peace becomes familiar

Safety isn’t a thought—it’s a felt sense. And it can be relearned through calm repetition.

You don’t fear money.

You fear what your body associates with it: Exposure. Judgment. Change. That’s where healing begins.

Final Thought: 

Wealth is not just earned— it’s held. And to hold more, you must first feel safe inside your own skin.
