Link to the Show / Show NotesThe emotional connection that we all have with money is undeniable. Whether we feel comfortable with it and understand how it works in the world or ignore our finances completely, there is a strong psychological dimension to our personal dealings with money. But there is also a strong taboo about discussing personal details around money—what we earn, what we save, and what we spend—that has contributed to women, in particular, feeling financially isolated and vulnerable.
Through her own experiences and her longtime work as a psychotherapist, Kate Levinson has come to understand the ways that money and emotions are intricately entwined. In Emotional Currency, she provides an insightful and empowering guide that explores money in terms of feeling and our relationships with ourselves and others. Using real-life examples from years of her Emotional Currency workshops and from her psychotherapy practice, Kate helps readers come to terms with their family’s financial history, reveals how old habits and ideas affect present-day patterns, and offers fresh ideas to help women make smarter financial decisions.
Kate Levinson is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology. In addition to her private practice in Oakland, California, she leads Emotional Currency ™ Workshops on the psychological and emotional aspects of money. She has presented in numerous settings on money and psychology and is on the faculty at the Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley.
