Money Stories in Clinical Practice: Understanding Your Own to Better Support Patients is a two-session professional development course designed to help clinicians engage money-related distress with greater depth, clarity, and empathy. Financial anxiety, avoidance, and shame frequently surface in clinical work, often rooted in early conditioning, cultural narratives, and systemic inequities—yet most clinicians receive
little training to hold these conversations with confidence or care.
Grounded in the Financial Fullness Framework and informed by clinical application of Heal Your Relationship with Money, this course reframes money as an emotional, identity-shaping experience rather than a purely behavioral concern. Participants first turn inward, examining their own money stories as a core element of professional development. They then translate these insights into more present, trauma informed, and culturally responsive engagement with clients.
Across two intentionally sequenced sessions, clinicians move from self-reflection to applied practice, allowing time for integration and deeper awareness. The result is a more grounded and compassionate clinical stance when money inevitably enters the therapeutic space.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe the Financial Fullness Framework and its relevance to mental health practice
- Recognize money-related distress as a common and meaningful concern in therapeutic settings
- Examine personal money beliefs and conditioning as a professional practice consideration
- Apply trauma-informed and culturally responsive perspectives when engaging money-related topics with clients
