HELPING YOU MANAGE MONEY ANXIETY.

Kansas State University has been offering a graduate certificate in financial therapy for over 15 years. The program was created in response to the stress experienced by financial planners and therapists during the Great Recession. The certificate program teaches financial planners skills such as asking better questions, tracking nonverbal cues, and improving communication and listening skills. It also encourages planners to examine their own money values and goals in order to better guide their clients. Financial therapy can also help couples resolve financial disagreements and achieve their financial goals. Additionally, therapy can help individuals address and overcome financial traumas that may be influencing their behavior. The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards has recently added therapy training to its requirements for certification. Those interested in financial therapy can find qualified planners through the Financial Therapy Association. [Extracted from the article]
