Money rarely causes conflict for couples because of the numbers alone. It creates tension because it touches safety, trust, fairness, curiosity and the question couples rarely say out loud, even when they feel it: “Am I alone in this?” Like sex, honest money talks with our partners ask for self-awareness, emotional risk, and a willingness to be imperfect together.
In this episode of HomeEc, Nick Ashburn and Moraya Seeger DeGeare sit down with Couples Therapist Renee Segal to explore why money conversations between partners can feel so charged, how couples therapists navigate money tension in the therapy room, and her own money story.

Key Terms
Attachment describes how we learn to seek safety, connection, and reassurance, especially when we’re stressed or uncertain. These patterns are shaped early in life and often show up in adult relationships, including how we respond to money, conflict, and support.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) An evidence based therapy approach that helps partners understand and reshape emotional and nervous system patterns underneath conflict. Used with couples, individuals, and families.
Pursuer and Withdrawer dynamics In EFT, pursuers tend to reach for connection under stress, while withdrawers tend to move away to regulate overwhelm. Neither is wrong. Both are protective strategies in an effort to maintain the health of the relationship.
