Money: more taboo than sex, religion or political affiliation

This post echoes something therapists and couples frequently hear, as seen in a lecture by Aaron Kipnis, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Santa Monica, CA.

Money is a subject often more taboo than sex, religion or political affiliation. The myriad money complexes both clients and therapists bring to the consulting room reveal many parallels between it and psychology. Money is the number one reason married couples separate and many families are torn apart by their economic issues.

Therapists and couples use Money Habitudes to facilitate a constructive, engaging, enlightening dialogue about money and financial issues, addressing family of origin influences, money secrets, and real and perceived slights around money.
