Subconscious wealth blocks have a profound influence on our financial well-being. In this article, we delve into the hidden triggers rooted in our past experiences that shape our relationship with wealth.
By unearthing and addressing these deeply ingrained beliefs, we can transform our financial mindset and pave the way towards abundance and prosperity.
Wealth is not solely measured by material possessions, but by the abundance of a mindset that sees opportunities, embraces possibilities, and cultivates the belief that one’s potential knows no bounds.
1. Childhood upbringing and its impact
Our upbringing has a deep and direct impact on our wealth. It’s always deeply insightful when I work with clients on their money blocks – the attitudes their parents had about money deeply impacted them in childhood and continue to do so into adulthood, until they address these core beliefs.
I had a client whose parents were always poor and had to work 2 jobs each. This wired her with the belief that you have to work really hard for money but no matter how hard you worked there still would not be enough. Even though she earned 6 figures, she never felt it was enough and her business was failing because of this lack mindset.
Another client recalled hearing her mother shouting at her dad that they weren’t going have enough money to eat, and how she fretted about how they were going to survive. So when she came to me, she was overworking, under earning and always fretting about money.
Furthermore, I had a client who was brought up by a single mother. They lived in a constant boom bust cycle with money, as soon as money arrived it had to be spent, and they spent most of the time in poverty having spent all the money on and around pay day. In adult life, this is exactly how he was living his life…even though he earned a good salary, there was never enough because he spent it as soon as he had it, and he lived pay check to pay check.
Parental influence, family dynamics and cultural beliefs shape our relationship with money from the moment we are born and has a real and everlasting impact until we take back control over our relationship with money.
2. Societal & Cultural Influences
Our relationship with wealth and money is not solely shaped by our personal experiences and upbringing. It is also influenced by broader societal and cultural factors. These play a significant role in the formation of our subconscious wealth blocks.
Media and advertising:
The media and advertising industries play a powerful role in shaping our perceptions of wealth and success. Constant exposure to images of opulence, luxury lifestyles, and material possessions can create unrealistic expectations and foster a sense of inadequacy. The message is: you don’t have enough, with a never-ending pursuit of material wealth.
Societal narratives:
Societal narratives surrounding money also contribute to subconscious wealth blocks. In many cultures, certain professions or industries are perceived as more prestigious or financially rewarding, while others are undervalued or stigmatised.
These narratives can influence our beliefs about the paths to financial success and create internal barriers to exploring alternative avenues for wealth creation.
Scarcity mindset:
A scarcity mindset is a pervasive cultural belief that there is a limited amount of wealth and resources to go around. This mindset fosters competition, comparison, and a fear of scarcity, which can restrict our ability to embrace abundance and take risks in pursuit of financial growth. The scarcity mindset perpetuates the notion that wealth is scarce and only attainable for a select few, reinforcing subconscious beliefs of limitation and lack. The message is: There’s not enough to go round
Social comparisons:
In a hyperconnected world driven by social media, social comparisons have become a prominent aspect of our lives. Constantly comparing our financial situation to others, whether it’s friends, acquaintances, or influencers, can create feelings of envy, inadequacy, and unworthiness. This constant comparison can exacerbate subconscious wealth blocks by reinforcing a sense of not measuring up or feeling deserving of financial abundance. The message is: you’re not enough.
Understanding these societal and cultural factors is crucial for dismantling subconscious wealth blocks. By questioning prevailing narratives, challenging the scarcity mindset, and cultivating a healthier relationship with social comparisons, we can break free from the limitations imposed by external influences and forge our own path towards financial freedom.
3. Recognising & Addressing Hidden Triggers
The first step in overcoming subconscious wealth blocks is to recognise what is triggering us about money.
By understanding these triggers, we can gain valuable insights into the deeper beliefs and patterns that may be holding us back.
To recognise the triggers, pay attention to your emotional reactions in money-related situations. Notice if you feel anxious, stressed, or fearful when discussing finances or making financial decisions. These strong emotional responses can indicate underlying beliefs and triggers that need further exploration.
How do you react when comparing your financial situation to others? Envy, inadequacy, or insecurity that arise from comparison can highlight underlying beliefs of lack or unworthiness.
Recognising these triggers allows you to consciously shift your focus from comparison to gratitude and self-empowerment.
By examining any past financial setbacks or traumas, you can uncover triggers that stem from those experiences. These events, such as bankruptcy, debt, or financial betrayal, can create deep-seated fears and negative associations with money.
Understanding these triggers helps you address and heal from past traumas, freeing yourself from their continued influence on your relationship with wealth.
By recognising what triggers you about money, you empower yourself to respond consciously rather than react unconsciously, opening the path for personal growth and financial empowerment.
4. Tools to use to uncover and rewire your subconscious money blocks
There are powerful tools available to rewire your subconscious beliefs around money. Here are my favourites:
Positive affirmations:
Regularly practice positive affirmations related to wealth and abundance. Repeat empowering statements such as “I am worthy of financial success” or “I attract wealth and abundance into my life.” By consistently affirming positive beliefs, you can gradually reprogram your subconscious mind and replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones.
Visualisation and manifestation:
Utilise the power of visualisation to imagine yourself living a life of financial abundance. Create vivid mental images of your desired financial situation, including specific goals and achievements. Regularly visualise yourself experiencing the feelings of financial success, allowing your subconscious mind to accept and work towards manifesting those visions.

Hypnotherapy:
Consider hypnotherapy as a powerful technique to access and reprogram the subconscious mind. With the guidance of a qualified hypnotherapist, you can enter a relaxed state where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and beliefs. Hypnotherapy can help uncover and address deeply ingrained subconscious wealth blocks, enabling lasting transformation.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT):
EFT, also known as tapping, combines elements of acupressure and psychology to release emotional and energetic blockages. By tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on specific beliefs or emotions related to wealth, you can effectively address and rewire subconscious patterns. EFT can help release negative emotions and create space for new, positive beliefs to take root.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP):
NLP techniques offer strategies for changing patterns of thought and behaviour by reprogramming the mind. NLP explores the relationship between language, neurology, and subjective experience. Techniques such as anchoring, reframing, and timeline therapy can be used to transform subconscious beliefs and create new neural pathways related to wealth and abundance.
It’s important to note that while these techniques can be powerful, consistent practice and repetition are key to rewiring subconscious beliefs. It’s also recommended to seek professional guidance, such as working with a certified hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, or EFT practitioner, to ensure effective and safe implementation of these techniques.
Work with a coach or therapist
Consider working with a professional coach or therapist who specialises in money mindset and financial beliefs. They can guide you through a structured process of self-exploration, helping you identify and address deep-seated subconscious wealth blocks. They provide a supportive and objective perspective while offering effective strategies tailored to your specific needs.
