Monetary Psychotherapy
Money carries stories. Some are empowering — others hold pain.
Understanding those stories is the first step toward emotional and financial freedom.
Money and emotions are deeply intertwined. Monetary Psychotherapy is intended for individuals who experience emotional and psychological stress related to financial matters. Financial behaviours develop over time, shaped by personal experiences, familial influences, and cultural contexts. Each individual possesses a financial narrative, and it is essential to understand your own, the factors that contributed to its development and the underlying emotional & psychological factors influencing your financial behaviours. The emphasis of Monetary Psychotherapy lies in the ability to comprehend and navigate the emotional and psychological dimensions of an individual's relationship with money, facilitating the cultivation of a more constructive mindset and enabling more rational financial choices. Monetary Psychotherapy differs from the roles of a financial advisor or financial counsellor, as it does not involve providing financial and investment advice. Monetary Psychotherapy explores the deep emotional and psychological underpinnings of attitudes to money/finances. Investigating and understanding the fundamental emotions arising from childhood, trauma, or stress, rather than focusing on numerical data. What financial lessons did parents impart on us? What is our financial narrative? What financial lessons are we imparting to children? Individuals may cultivate detrimental emotional ties to money, which can result in compulsive spending or other complications. Cultural factors can influence perceptions regarding money, savings, expenditure, and debt. Certain individuals may associate their self-esteem or sense of worth with their financial condition or income. Monetary disputes or pressures can exacerbate relationships, resulting in conflict and tension. Financial strain can lead to numerous mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and diminished self-esteem. Experiencing shame or embarrassment regarding financial challenges may hinder the pursuit of solutions.
