Financial Psychotherapist Vicky Reynal was featured in a recent Telegraph article: The Simple Guide to Writing a Will and Keeping Your Loved Ones Happy. Vicky is the author for the forthcoming title Money on Your Mind (May 2024, Lagom), a revolutionary book that uncovers the different ways our past experiences impact our current relationship with money.

In this article, she shares that there are a whole host of emotional reasons why people put off writing a will:

“Money is emotional enough as a subject on its own. Imagine combining it with an even more emotionally loaded topic: death. Will writing inevitably puts us in touch with the reality of the limits of our existence, which can be an unsettling subject. But in many cases there are a myriad of other emotional factors. One example is troubled relationships: how can we think about leaving our money to children or a spouse who has disappointed us, upset us, angered us, or who might not even be talking to us at the moment?”

The book will dive into topics such as this in more detail, exploring how our financial behaviours can be influenced by deep-seated longings and fears that lay behind them. Covering overspending, underspending, money secrets and self-sabotage, Money on Your Mind will help you create an improved and healthier relationship with money.
