As a Clinical Family Therapist,
relational intelligence reflects my systemic approach in working with individuals and couples.
Co-ined by Esther Perel, relational intelligence is the skill of connecting with others and building trust in relationships with partners, friends, and colleagues. It involves feeling safe enough to be vulnerable.
This concept shifts focus from viewing individuals in isolation to understanding them within their broader familial, cultural, and systemic contexts. It explores how family dynamics, cultural influences, and societal factors shape our relationships.
Relational intelligence emphasizes self-awareness and understanding of how past experiences influence our current relational patterns. Without this awareness, we struggle with empathy and compassion, leading to challenges in our relationships.
“When our ability to consider and understand the feelings of others decreases, our relationships suffer”
