Eight sessions, one patient progression
Each module in the Gihile Haditi series stands on its own while also building on the ones before it. You can join from any point, though the sequence is designed to move from understanding toward practice in a way that feels natural.
The Avoidance Loop
You sit down with every intention of reviewing your finances. Within two minutes, you have wandered into something else entirely. This module examines what is actually happening in those moments, not as a character flaw but as a well-worn neural pathway.
We look at how avoidance creates temporary relief, how that relief reinforces the pattern, and what makes the loop so persistent even when participants intellectually want to break it.
Money Memories
Think back to the first time money felt complicated. Perhaps it was overhearing a worried conversation between adults, or being told something was too expensive in a tone that felt like more than just a practical statement. Those moments leave impressions.
This module explores how early financial experiences shape adult emotional responses, and introduces a simple mapping exercise to help participants identify their own formative money moments.
The Body's Response
Financial stress does not live only in the mind. It shows up as a tightness in the chest, a sudden exhaustion, a reluctance to open emails. This module invites participants to pay attention to these physical signals rather than push past them.
Led by Tomasz Wieczorek, the session introduces somatic awareness as a tool for understanding emotional responses to money, and offers gentle practices for creating space around those sensations.
Small Enough to Start
The problem with most financial advice is that it assumes the person reading it is already emotionally ready to act. This module works with the assumption that they might not be, and that this is completely fine.
We explore the concept of minimum viable awareness: the smallest possible engagement with a financial topic that still counts as engagement. Participants design their own entry points.
Building a Neutral Relationship
The goal is not to love money, or to feel excited about spreadsheets. The goal is neutrality: the ability to look at financial information without a charged emotional reaction pulling attention away.
This module focuses on the gradual process of desensitization through repeated, calm exposure. Participants practice the act of simply observing financial information without interpreting or reacting to it.
The Words We Use
The language surrounding money is saturated with moral weight. Debt is described as bad. Saving is called responsible. Being broke carries shame. This module examines how loaded financial vocabulary shapes the way people feel about their own situations.
Participants explore how reframing the language they use internally, not as denial but as precision, can reduce the emotional charge attached to financial facts.
Recurring Behaviours
Most financial avoidance follows recognizable patterns, though they are often invisible to the person inside them. Impulsive spending as a response to stress. Procrastinating on tax returns not because of complexity but because of anxiety. Refusing to check account balances.
This module helps participants map their own recurring financial behaviours and understand what needs they are attempting to meet, often unconsciously, through those patterns.
Sustaining Awareness
The final module looks at how to maintain the awareness developed through the series without requiring ongoing intensive effort. The aim is for financial awareness to become something that happens naturally, in the background, rather than something that requires summoning courage.
Participants review their personal practices, identify what has resonated, and build a simple ongoing awareness framework they can use independently after the series concludes.
