Disclaimers + Refund Policy

While this course provides psychoeducation about money trauma, TOM is not therapy or a replacement for medical care. The goal of psychoeducation is to share information about how to better understand the impact of mental processes and trauma.

TOM is also not offering investment, tax, or legal advice.



Refund Policy

While we hope that everyone enjoys the course and structure, we understand that it may not be the right time or right fit for everyone. We honor refund requests that are submitted before the 3rd class meeting. Refund requests made after the 3rd class meeting may not be eligible for a refund.

Once you officially complete the certification program, you are welcome to use any TOM worksheets in your work. Usage guidelines are provided upon certificate completion.

TOM Badge and Certificate

After completing the program, you'll be able to showcase your official status with the TOM badge and certificate on your website and/or social media.
