Am I Secure in my Relationship and Good enough for my partner? With Figs O'Sullivan, LMFT
Figs o’Sullivan and his wife Teale are marriage therapists and relationship experts who developed the Empathi method.
They are the architects of the Empathi Method and they think of themselves as “wounded healers and fellow strugglers.” Figs takes a casual approach in his work with couples and see himself as “just another wounded person trying to make his own relationships work.”
Figs believes that “every person makes sense and every person is worthy of love”, AND if they can get beyond the narrative that one partner is right and one partner is wrong, they can find a neutral place to meet and talk and work through their issues.
He shares a bit about his approach to helping couples, and he believes that “although people are complicated, therapy shouldn't be. “ Figs views himself as a fellow traveler in life and a fellow struggler. He likes to remind couples that many of their conflicts and arguments are just evidence that they care so much about this relationship.
O'Sullivan's approach encourages individuals to examine their own emotional responses and vulnerabilities, becoming more self-aware to attract and maintain a healthier relationship dynamic.
He shares the 3 pillars of relationships that he focuses on in couples work:
1 Attachment theory
2 Systems Theory
3 Transformation/Experiences
