In this conversation, psychotherapist Fiachra Figs explores how money, trauma, attachment, and the nervous system are deeply intertwined. Modern society isn’t just economically unstable — it’s psychologically destabilizing. And most people feel it in their bodies long before they can articulate it intellectually. We examine how fiat money functions like an unreliable parent, why survival mode has become the default state for millions, and how corrupted financial signals distort not just markets, but relationships, creativity, and identity itself. From attachment theory and nervous system regulation to Bitcoin as psychological bedrock, this episode connects inner healing with systemic reform. This is a conversation about moving from survival to sovereignty — personally, relationally, and civilizationally.
