Today on the podcast, Julianne is speaking with Fiachra “Figs” O’Sullivan, the Founder and Chief Empathy Officer at Empathi, which provides step-by-step guidance for couples and individuals who care about their relationships. He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who is certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and individuals, and a passionate entrepreneur, driven to change lives for the better. He strives to interact with clients as a fellow traveler on life’s journey, allowing them to easily dive deeper into their “stuff” with his down-to-earth philosophy. Constantly working on his skills and psychotherapeutic approach, Figs is passionate about helping couples love each other and feel more connected.
Figs has spent years working with frustrated couples at a cross-roads in their relationship; they want to make things work but are stuck in what Figs calls their “Waltz of Pain”, which led him to create Empathi. Inspired by attachment theory, improvisational dance and theatre, experiential psychotherapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, Empathi provides fun, effective, and simple solutions to help couples stop fighting and snuggle more. Figs designed Empathi to be available for everyone, no matter their socio-economic status, orientation or station in life.
In the episode, Figs talks about his own family history and personal work around love for himself, which led to helping others. He then dives a bit deeper into why we react the way we do in relationships and how to begin to navigate the real root issue.
Key topics:
“If one person doesn’t feel met or loved, then the way that person looks in turn to their partner is going to make the partner not seem loved or met, and then they’re going to keep passing that unmetness back and forth like a game of hot potato and they’re going to get more and more stuck.”
