I’m a therapist to the super-rich: they are as miserable as Succession makes out | Clay Cockrell

Many billionaires I work with have trust issues, lack a sense of purpose and struggle with shame, guilt and fear

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard the term first world problems", my bank account would look similar to those of my clients. I work as a psychotherapist and my specialism is ultra-high net worth individuals.

I got into working with billionaires by accident. I had one wealthy client, who passed my name around to their acquaintances. They are called the 1% for a reason: there are not that many of them and so the circle is tight.
