Money therapy. No, not retail therapy. The Financial Therapy Association, on its homepage, defines the effort as
"A process informed by both therapeutic and financial competencies that helps people think, feel, communicate, and behave differently with money to improve overall well-being through evidence-based practices and interventions."
The Center for Financial Social Work explains its work as "Education, Motivation and Support to Facilitate the Practice of Financial Social Work. For over twenty years, we have been creating products and resources that improve financial wellbeing and promote financial literacy."
Trauma of Money, unaccredited but well-regarded, teaches "a compassionate approach, delivered through online training, that explores frameworks for healing collective and individual traumas to create financial safety and well-being."
Creighton University, NYU and other academic institutions offer applied behavioral finance courses.
People with clutter challenges may also have financial issues. They may overspend, lose bills and therefore not pay on time, they may confuse their worth with the worth of their things. Money therapy may be a tool for examining the struggles.
