#88 | Liberation from the inner prison guard

"Life is a successful relationship."

Putting yourself at the center sounds like the epitome of selfishness. But that's not a bad thing at all. At least if you think you have a healthy relationship with yourself. If you don't, it's the cause of a lot of stress. This is exactly what Dr. Mirriam Prieß, doctor, therapist and expert in relationship skills, experiences every day in her work with those affected.

"Every relationship I have begins with the relationship I have with myself."

Whether it's burnout, stress at work or conflicts in a relationship. This shows that fulfilling relationships are no coincidence, but are based on a clear principle. Prieß uses the “dialog triangle” to describe the balance between I, you and we. Those who harmonize these three elements remain healthy, resilient and experience genuine connection.

"Man's greatest prison is the prison of his inner realities."

In this episode of SMP LeaderTalks, Dr. Mirriam Prieß talks to Georgiy Michailov about the cornerstones of healthy relationships and what the dialogue triangle has to do with it, why burnout is not caused by too much work and what it means to be a prisoner of your inner realities.
