Do you ever walk out of a store with bags overflowing, wondering how you got there in the first place? Does the “buy now, think later” mentality leave you with lingering anxiety and a lighter wallet? If you struggle with impulsive spending, you’re not alone. Here at Koru Financial Therapy, we understand the complex dance between impulsivity and finances. Thus, we’ve crafted a unique support group program, driven by neuro-affirmative Financial Therapy techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you break free from the cycle of impulsive spending and build a financially and emotionally fulfilling life.

The Four Pillars of Our Method

Full Acceptance of Limiting Thoughts and Negative Feelings. We begin by acknowledging the internal narratives that fuel impulsive spending. So, whether it’s the fear of missing out, the need for instant gratification, or shame surrounding past financial choices, we create a safe space for you to explore and accept these difficult emotions without judgment.
Exploring Values. What matters most to you in life? Is it travel, financial security, family time, or something else entirely? This introspection is crucial, as it allows you to align your spending with your deepest desires and priorities. We’ll help you discover your values and use them as a compass to guide your financial decisions.
Implementing and Practicing Coping Skills. Life is full of triggers and temptations. Therefore, we equip you with powerful coping mechanisms like mindfulness exercises, cognitive reframing techniques, and healthy delay tactics to navigate challenging situations without resorting to impulsive spending.
Preparing to Perform Positive Behavioral Activities. Finally, we move from acceptance and awareness to action. Now, we work with you to set realistic financial goals, create spending plans, and implement accountability mechanisms to help you stay on track.

Outcomes You Can Expect

Breaking the Cycle of Impulsivity. By embracing acceptance and understanding your triggers, you’ll loosen the grip of impulsive spending and gain greater control over your finances.

Clarifying Your Values. Through self-reflection and value exploration, you’ll discover what truly matters to you, allowing you to make financial choices aligned with your authentic self.

Building Financial Confidence. With each successful step towards your goals, you’ll cultivate a sense of financial competence and empowerment, replacing anxiety and guilt with joy and satisfaction.
