HOW COUPLES THERAPY CAN HELP US IMPROVE OUR WORK RELATIONSHIPS

Whether love, family, friendship or work: Every environment we find ourselves in underlies some kind of relational dynamics. How well we are able to navigate these dynamics has a huge impact on our careers: 

„Relational intelligence will be a future competitive advantage“, 

stated Esther Perel, the legendary US couples therapist, at DLD Munich in 2020. Esther Perel has been a trailblazer in this field by transferring her knowledge from the couples therapy universe to the business world through masterclasses, her podcast „How’s Work?“ and also through advising a VC fund on e.g. co-founder conflict solution.


I recently read The Origins of You by Vienna Pharaon, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist. Once again, I reflected on how family patterns and dynamics can have a profound impact not only on our love lives, but also on our work lives.

Our family is our first social environment, and it shapes our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, which can influence the way we approach our careers and interact with colleagues and superiors: 


Through our career choices, communication skills or leadership styles. 


It is essential to be aware of these early influences to break any negative patterns that may hinder our success in the workplace. By understanding our family patterns and how they shape our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, we can consciously create meaningful work relationships. The Origins of You by Vienna Pharaon is an amazing starting point to understand and change patterns for the better with the right tools.
