In a striking convergence of life and work, award-winning financial therapist and Forbes columnist Rahkim Sabree announces the release of his new book, Overcoming Financial Trauma: How to Break Free from Guilt, Build Wealth, and Redefine Success (Wiley, 2025), while simultaneously recovering from the total loss of his Connecticut home in an October fire.
The tragedy — which destroyed most of Sabree’s possessions — has placed him in the very financial and emotional terrain he has dedicated his career to helping others navigate. The incident underscores the urgency of his work, particularly for Black Americans disproportionately affected by disasters, predatory insurance practices, wealth-draining crises, institutional abuse, and economic instability.
New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!

Sabree’s book provides tools to identify and overcome financial trauma, leveraging his framework, The 3E’s of Overcoming Financial Trauma. It breaks down the six sources of financial trauma, contextual frameworks and methods, and provides strategies for implementing financial healing.
His work addresses the emotional and systemic roots of financial trauma — a topic too often overlooked in financial media. It blends trauma-informed clinical strategies, culturally grounded storytelling, and wealth-building practices tailored to historically excluded communities. Readers learn to identify patterns shaped by scarcity, shame, workplace inequities, and generational survival conditioning — and then replace them with empowered financial behaviors and community-centered financial wellness.
Described as a “fabulous overture of love that will add to the nurturing of our peoples” by New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother’s Hands, Dr. Resmaa Menakem, Overcoming Financial Trauma has garnered early praise from financial empowerment leaders including Kiersten and Julien Saunders (Cashing Out), leaders in human resources, academics, and clinicians.
Sabree brings over a decade of experience working across financial services with focuses on financial counseling and financial therapy and provides consulting for corporations and brands including Experian, MoneyGroup, and more. His acclaimed Overcoming Financial Trauma Substack has earned multiple honors, and he sits on the board of the Financial Therapy Association.
Locally, Sabree has provided pro bono financial counseling and train-the-trainer workshops in partnership with his local library and organizations such as the YWCA and the Foundation for Financial Planning.
In response to his fire, Sabree is embodying the very lessons he so often teaches across stages, through his Forbes column, in person, and throughout his book — further blending research, theory, practice, and lived experience. He hopes to get this book into the hands of educators, practitioners, employee resource groups, and nonprofits focused on financial healing through education with trauma-informed framing.
“Overcoming Financial Trauma wasn’t just something I wrote,” he says, “and purpose doesn’t burn.”
Overcoming Financial Trauma is available for pre-order wherever books are sold, including Amazon, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop. Also, visit OvercomingFinancialTrauma.com for more information.
