Summary: We all have a relationship with money and inevitably it arises in the consulting room: clients who argue with partners or family members about money, or are disappointed by a Christmas present, who feel guilty when they ‘indulge’ and spend on themselves or who are accused of withholding or controlling money. Of course, as we set a fee for therapy, the client already gives us an idea of their relationship with it.
As therapists, it’s important that money isn’t a taboo in the therapy room. Reynal’s work builds awareness of the many symbolic meanings of money and how clients might use or misuse it to act out emotional issues. Behind money arguments and behaviours there can be expressions of attachment styles, deep longings and fears, feelings of deservedness, masochism and much more.
