Shownotes

Money is rarely just about numbers. In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with Dr. Elise Dossaji to explore how trauma, grief, and emotional safety quietly shape our financial behaviors, stress responses, and self-worth.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck around money despite trying budgeting tools, or who experiences guilt, anxiety, or avoidance around financial decisions. Dr. Elise reframes money struggles as emotional signals, not personal failures, and explains how healing the underlying wounds can transform both finances and relationships.

About the Guest:

Dr. Elise Dossaji is a Licensed Professional Counselor and supervisor with over 16 years of experience. She specializes in grief and trauma and is a faculty member in a graduate counseling program.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Money behaviors often reflect unmet needs for safety and control
  2. Financial stress can persist even when income increases
  3. Shame keeps people stuck, while awareness creates choice
  4. Treating money like a relationship builds healthier boundaries
  5. Small emotional triggers can drive repeated financial patterns
