Although money is as big a battleground for troubled couples as sex, it's one of the last issues that gets raised by therapists—both because couples fear its explosive potential and because many clinicians haven't worked through their own complicated feelings about this taboo subject. In this workshop, we'll explore the hidden meanings of money for couples and therapists—money fights are almost never "just" about money, but about power, love, security, control, freedom, self-esteem, and old age. We'll talk about money personality types (hoarders, spenders, money-monks, amassers), couples' polarization patterns, and new brain research about male-female differences that contribute to couples' money struggles. By workshop's end, you'll know how to raise the issue of money without triggering clients' defensiveness, how to better understand your clients' (and your own) money issues, and how to help couples establish "money harmony"—a mutually acceptable, balanced relationship to money that reflects their values and integrity.
