Overspending

Knowing Your Brain State

If you have struggled with overspending, you may think you have a "spending problem" rather than a brain state issue. In states of stress, the chemical cascade and spending issues are often part of that brain state effect. Understanding brain states can be a first step toward compassion and toward feeling prepared to gain freedom from that emotional drive. .

The Basics

The drive to overspend is very common, associated with the high that comes from the purchase to the low of self-deprivation afterwards, as well as the emotional drive for clutter.

The EBT Approach

The drive to overspend and clutter is a survival drive that is wired into the brain during stress. It is common to feel safe when acquiring objects and holding onto them. It is not reasonable to change those patterns without substituting another excess if the emotional wiring of a secure connection to ourselves is not in place.

Most individuals who register for EBT to overcome overspending have more than one excess, and want to have freedom from the whole range of common stress symptoms. The approach is to access external help for spending, such as accountants and financial counselors, and to use EBT to address the root cause of the problem and re-encode pathways for a secure and rewarding emotional connect within.
