If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone.
According to a 2008 survey by the American Psychological Association, 81% of people say that money is their #1 stressor. Financial stress can lead to depression, anxiety, health issues, decreased functioning, and poor sense of self-worth. It is also one of the leading causes of marital conflict.
Financial health goes beyond one’s knowledge and planning for current and future needs. Financial health measured by an ability to make financial choices that are consistent with one’s values and by the ability to use money as a tool to help fulfill one’s life purposes – not as an end in itself. In other words, it is determined by one’s relationship with money.
Your relationship with money is developed over time, through personal experiences and through witnessing the financial behaviors of others, such as parents and significant others.
Without understanding your past and present relationship with money, you may find it difficult to change your future relationship with money. This lack of insight is one reason why we sometimes struggle to do better, even when we know better.
Through Financial Therapy, clients learn about their relationship with money and how it has formed over time. Clients identify the unconscious beliefs they hold regarding money and how these beliefs impact their choices and quality of life.
Through Financial Therapy, clients also learn how to challenge faulty beliefs that prevent them from achieving financial health.
The goal of Financial Therapy is for clients to gain freedom from unwanted financial habits, to align financial choices with their true passions and values, and to allow money to work for them and with them to achieve life goals and purposes.
