Money dysmorphia is not caused by financial instability\, but by distorted self-perception rooted in comparison\, fear\, and ‘internalized scarcity’. Drawing on financial counseling and therapeutic tools\, ranging from Solutions-focused framing to Motivational Interviewing—as well as adaptable insights from body dysmorphia treatment and an exploration of literary\, theological\, academic\, and experiential bases—this session equips professionals to recognize irrational money fears\, support client reorientation to reality\, and foster sustainable behavior rooted in facts\, not fear. \nPresenter: Heath Carelock\, MPS\, PMP®\, AFC® URL:https://www.afcpe.org/event/fpa-connect-a-therapeutic-informed-financial-counseling-approach-to-money-dysmorphia-reframing-perceived-financial-insecurity-and-unlocking-healthy-financial-behavior/ LOCATION:Webinar / Online Meeting\, Online Meeting GEO:44.9622573;-93.4426615 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Webinar / Online Meeting Online Meeting;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Online Meeting:geo:-93.4426615,44.9622573 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250717T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250717T140000 DTSTAMP:20250923T122016 CREATED:20250530T201933Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250530T201933Z UID:10002744-1752757200-1752760800@www.afcpe.org SUMMARY:Helping Clients Reduce High Interest Rates with Debt Management Plans DESCRIPTION:As interest rates skyrocket and the consumer debt crisis deepens\, financial advisors and coaches must be prepared to guide clients through debt challenges.
