What if money works like skin—protecting, signaling, and setting boundaries? Dublin-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist and financial therapist Vessy Tesheva shares how trust, reliability, and clear limits shape the healing process. From earliest money memories and family genograms to the subtle ways clients “test” safety, she shows why financial therapy is about emotions, not advice. By holding consistent presence and boundaries, therapists help clients internalize stability, choice, and healthier relationships with money.

Rick Kahler unpacks a recent article in The Jerusalem Post that mistakenly equated financial well-being with financial independence, highlighting why the two are not the same. Drawing on research and his experience in financial therapy, he explains how financial wellness is about more than income or net worth—it’s about meeting obligations, feeling secure, and having choices. Just as importantly, he distinguishes between financial well-being and emotional well-being, showing why confusing the two can undermine both. Rick’s insights offer a clear reminder that true wellness requires attention to both the numbers and the emotions behind them.

In this powerful episode, Rick Kahler and Joetta Johnson go beyond theory and guide listeners through a live hypnosis experience centered on connecting with their 80-year-old future self. Joetta explains how this practice, rooted in both hypnosis and Internal Family Systems (IFS), allows individuals to revisit painful financial memories, reframe limiting beliefs, and receive wisdom from their imagined elder self. Through symbols, sensations, and repeated affirmations, clients can rewrite the internal scripts that shape money behavior. The session emphasizes the emotional and neurological power of imagery, repetition, and felt safety, offering listeners not just insight but a tool they can use to create real, lasting change.
