197: Financial Therapy: Should You Try It? with Thomas Faupl, LMFT

Welcome to episode 197 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this episode, we’re talking about financial therapy: what it is, how it works, and if you should try it.

Couples and families find themselves in conflict over money all the time. They struggle to communicate effectively when it comes to money, working toward common goals, and sharing values to ensure long-term financial success and a fulfilling life.

Today’s guest, Thomas Faupl, LMFT, is here to help address these challenges. Thomas is a private practice therapist specializing in trauma and financial therapy for individuals, couples, and families. While he was in grad school, he worked as a certified consumer credit counselor for Consumer Credit Counseling of San Francisco, and he’s counseled hundreds of people to help solve issues around personal finance.

If you’ve ever found yourself arguing about money with your spouse, parents, kids, or extended family, you’re definitely not alone. In this episode, Thomas shares the most common issues people have with money, how to overcome them, why financial therapy is an emerging field in psychology, and why it might be right for you.

Here’s what you’ll find out in this week’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio:

• Why it’s so hard for a traditional therapist to solve issues around money.
• The main issues that Thomas sees in his personal practice–and why the opposites that attract in relationships can create stressful money situations.
• The questions Thomas asks clients to help identify potential issues and boundaries without being forceful or manipulative.
• Why so many people have traumas around money–and the tools you can use to unpack, process, and work through them.
• How gender conditioning around money can impact how couples handle their money–and how both financial advisors and therapists see relationships.
