Money is one of today’s top stressors, and many clients are seeking counseling for financial problems. They seem to suffer from a deep lack of self-esteem related to money. Their problems come not from money itself, but from their deepest fears, fantasies and their relationship with money.
What remains unconscious can control our behavior. Unless we face our hidden beliefs and fears about money and make them conscious, we will sabotage our relationships as well as our sense of self.

Self-Worth or Net Worth?

How do people put a value on selfworth? Never having an identity, can money give them one? Did they mortgage their souls for false security? Will having money make you look perfect? We will learn to clarify some of our beliefs about money, including the ‘no talk’ rules that exist in our families. Often just talking about money brings about much anxiety and secrecy. Most people will talk about sex before they talk about money. Money is the thing most often lied about in marriages and relationships. 

Are we told not to talk about money in a household even though our material
wealth or lack of it is visible?

Is there shame connected to having or not having money? 

Is it more acceptable to talk about a lack of money?

Are we judged by how we live and where we live? 

Does this help us to feel more disconnected?

If I am poor, will I be seen as lesser than others? Will I be seen as an
outcast, lazy, downtrodden, foolish,
and undesirable? 

What if my family believes that money is the root of all evil? What are our cultural beliefs about money?
