What we value; being valued by others; ones potential, energy or personal resources; personal potency, therefore links with sexuality and self-giving; what we pay for our desires or actions – ‘I told my husband a few home truths last night, but he certainly made me pay for it’; opportunity because money buys time to explore or try the new. Holding on to money: Feeling insecure, or being ‘tight’ emotionally or sexually. Not enough money: Sense of being inadequate or failing potency. Dud money: Not giving of oneself or feeling cheated. Stolen money: Feelings of guilt about gaining power; feeling cheated; loss of power if money stolen; feeling others are taking us for granted; giving oneself cheaply in sex or relationship.
