Financial Therapy: The Missing Piece in Retirement Planning With John Hankins

The Agent of Wealth

We often hear people say, “I know I have enough money, but I still feel scared.” When unresolved feelings stay buried, they often manifest as behaviors – like overspending or understanding – that are hard to explain. Talking about those feelings can ease the pressure. That’s where financial therapy comes in…

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis is joined by John Hankins, a licensed social worker, Certified Financial Therapist, and Certified Financial Social Worker. John specializes in working with individuals and couples middle-age and beyond to help them to understand and improve their relationship with money. He doesn’t create financial plans. Instead, John helps people assess their relationship with money and make sense of how they feel about their finances.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What financial therapy is, and how it can complement financial planning.
• The signs that your relationship with money might benefit from therapy.
• Why simply having “enough” money doesn’t always bring peace of mind, especially as it relates to retirement savings.
• How unexamined childhood experiences shape your current financial behaviors.
• And more!

From compulsive spending to couple conflicts and retirement dread – financial therapy addresses what spreadsheets can’t.
