Working with money in a therapeutic practice
Money is one of the most common sources of client distress, yet many therapists feel underprepared to work with it. A client may present with anxiety, relationship conflict, shame, or a sense of being stuck, and only later reveal that the underlying driver is debt, financial abuse, inherited poverty, or a lifetime of financial secrecy.
Trauma informed financial wellbeing gives therapists a framework for holding these conversations without becoming financial advisers. You learn to recognise money behaviour as a survival response, work with the nervous system state underneath it, and refer cleanly when a client needs financial or legal help.

It is designed for therapeutic professionals who want to extend the scope of their existing practice safely.
