Taxes are one of the most common—and least talked about—sources of stress, fear, and avoidance. For many, tax season activates old survival patterns, shame, or nervous system overwhelm.

This workshop was intentionally co-created to address Tax Trauma from both a practical and holistic perspective.

We combine:

• Grounded, accurate tax education
• Trauma-informed nervous system regulation
• Compassionate, judgment-free conversation

So participants can learn, ask questions, and move forward feeling calm, informed, and empowered.

Tax trauma may look like:

• Avoiding paperwork or deadlines
• Fear of making mistakes or “doing it wrong”
• Anxiety when thinking about the IRS
• Shame around money, income, or past decisions
• Feeling frozen or overwhelmed instead of proactive

This experience is more common than people realize—and it’s not a personal failure.
It’s a nervous system response.

This workshop meets that response with education, regulation, and care.

Amanda Renfrew, TheTaxPerson™️, is federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states. She will guide participants through:

✔️ The Top 5 Filing Mistakes That Cost You Money, including:

• Missed deductions and credits
• Filing status errors
• Reporting mistakes that trigger IRS notices
• Common myths that lead to overpaying
• What to do if you’ve made mistakes in previous years

There will be space for open Q&A in a supportive, non-intimidating environment.

• Somatic awareness and gentle mindfulness
