Building Stronger Relationships: Figs O'Sullivan’s Advice
In this episode of "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart" podcast, host Steve welcomes Figs O'Sullivan, a psychotherapist specializing in couples therapy. Originating from Ireland, Figs shares his personal journey of growing up with an alcoholic father and a heartbroken mother, which fueled his mission to create a loving family as an adult. He transitioned from a career in financial services to exploring human potential at Esalen in Big Sur, California, where he dedicated himself to personal healing and eventually became a facilitator for others. Figs emphasizes the importance of understanding and transforming personal pain into a superpower for effective relationships.
Figs explains his therapeutic approach, which involves deeply empathizing with clients and helping them turn their past hurts into strengths. He highlights that the process of couples therapy aims to make partners independent of the therapist by teaching them to co-regulate and support each other. Typically, he endeavors to graduate couples within six months, ensuring they are equipped to handle future challenges independently.
The episode also introduces Figs' innovative, free web app designed to help couples understand their relationship dynamics through attachment theory. The app provides personalized feedback based on quiz responses from both partners, offering actionable insights to improve their relationship. This resource is bolstered by additional free content, including podcasts and courses, aimed at providing widespread support.
Figs discusses the scalability of his app and the positive feedback it has received from users, expressing his desire to help more people effectively. The app, available at empathi.com (spelled with an "i" at the end), is praised for its high production quality and user-friendly interface.
Throughout the conversation, Figs underscores the significance of addressing relationship issues not just out of necessity but as a proactive measure to enhance personal and professional lives. Steve concludes the episode with a generous offer, encouraging listeners to download the app and engage with Figs' services for a chance to receive a special gift, emphasizing the profound impact of healthy relationships on overall well-being.
