EP42 - The Importance of Discussing Finances
Finances. A deeply intimate, intimidating, and yet common struggle in couple communication. Finances are an inherent part of daily living, yet we treat them as though they are taboo or the plague. We often hold discussing it as more vulnerable than every other topic, including sex or religion. Despite money being a crucial part of our lives, we rarely receive any education around how to interact with finances and talk about it with our family or partner. This can create apprehension, fear, and complete avoidance. Time to switch it up and bring this topic into the light!
Join us as we welcome another guest to discuss money with couples and financial therapy, Dr. Alycia DeGraff, LMFT. Dr. DeGraff earned her clinical master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Tech and her doctorate degree in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia. Dr. DeGraff specializes in financial therapy, therapy that focuses on our relationship and patterns with our finances individually and as a partnership. Dr. DeGraff shares her profound clinical insights about why this topic is important in couples, how we develop our narratives around finances, effective tools to start this challenging conversation, and ways to improve our relationship with money in the future. You don’t want to miss this one!
