Although the economic implosion of the past two or three years has caused grave harm to many of our clients, most therapists still aren't prepared to deal with the emotional issues triggered by the financial turmoil. Clients often don't mention their financial vulnerability, even though it's the hidden issue behind their presenting problems, such as anxiety, depression, marital conflict, feelings of inadequacy and personal failure. In this workshop, we'll explore personal narratives of class, money, loss, and poverty and focus on how to discuss clients' family money stories in our clinical work. You'll learn specific strategies for uncovering invisible financial traumas and practical steps for helping clients tap into their inner emotional strength, maintain their sense of emotional equilibrium, and make rational decisions in the face of economic hardship.
