Have you found yourself suddenly financially successful and are uncomfortable with success? This is recently called sudden wealth syndrome or sudden success syndrome. Feeling uncomfortable is not an unusual reaction. Many people in this position resort to drugs or alcohol to escape an intolerable situation - the unfamiliarity of success. Sudden success can be a problem!

When people wish for something, they are often in conflict about their wishes. One side of the conflict is conscious -I want to be more successful- but the other side is unconscious - I am afraid of and don't want the responsibility of success. Therapy helps people gradually discover over time their mixed feelings about what they want, and what determines these mixed feelings. Sudden wealth or success allows no room for gradual discovery. Imagine having ambivalence about being married and suddenly waking up and discovering your married.

Also, sudden wealth or success leaves people disappointed since they suddenly realize that their newfound success does not bring them the happiness they expected, nor does it eliminate anxiety, depression, greed, envy, etc. Finally, often people don't believe they deserve success so they may unconsciously sabotage any efforts toward that goal.
