For 49% of us, just looking at our bank accounts can trigger negative feelings. Fear can be defined as an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger; it goes hand in hand with denial--a defense mechanism where someone avoids a difficult truth by denying its existence. Have you ever wondered why you avoid or sidestep even looking at your finances? Do you want to make, spend, or give away your money with more confidence? How can you distinguish between 'real' financial concerns, and what's really just anxiety at work in your financial life?

Today we'll talk about three questions to ask to spot-check your feelings of fear and denial around money. The goal here in Financial Therapy is to give us all ways to be more secure and confident in our financial decision-making, and to have a greater sense of well-being overall.
