170. Resolving romantic conflict BETTER + FASTER with couples therapist, Figs O'Sullivan

"Disconnection is not a "bug," but a feature of all relationships." -Figs O'Sullivan

Figs O'Sullivan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, certified in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the founder of Empathi. Figs is a passionate entrepreneur, driven to change lives for the better. He strives to interact with the clients as fellow travelers on life’s journey, allowing them to easily dive deeper into their “stuff” with his down-to-earth philosophy.

Figs has spent years working with frustrated couples at a crossroads in their relationship—they want to make things work but are stuck in what Figs calls their “Waltz of Pain”—which is what led him to create Empathi! Inspired by attachment theory, improvisational dance and theater, experiential psychotherapy, and EFT, Empathi provides fun, effective, and simple solutions to help couples stop fighting and snuggle more.

Today we discuss:

  • Emotional bonding as a primary need
  • All couples' work is trauma work
  • What is the "Waltz of Pain" that exists in all relationships
  • Transition of "I" consciousness to "WE" consciousness
  • Where to spend your energy in relationships
  • We're all dogs from the pound
  • How do you know when the relationship is over?
  • How Figs relates to his clients
  • How/why to celebrate the disconnection
