Emotional Challenges of Wealth and Success

Being born into wealth or having parents who achieved financial success, and/or high profile vocations creates a slew of challenges that are rarely spoken about openly. It is often necessary and helpful to find an objective professional to help work through often delicate issues which most often are kept a secret. Emotions often run high and having a therapist who can mediate and objectively work through how to manage dynamics can provide relief for challenging conversations and uncomfortable situations.

Some issues are:

• Materialistic competition/values disputes

• Dependency issues - unhealthy dynamics

• Parenting issues related to raising children who are born into wealth, entitlement issues

• Failure to launch

• Unhealthy coping with anxiety, depression, stress

• Lack of motivation, emptiness, lack of purpose

• Shame and feeling like you don’t measure up

• Raised by emotionally neglectful parents/not present

• Lacking identity, poor self esteem

• Substance abuse issues

• Feeling misunderstood 

• Lacking deep connections

• Generational differences - being born into money versus earning it

• Transfer of a family business management

• Unhealthy communication patterns

• Resentments
