“Your relationship résumé, your history doesn’t stay at the door when you come to work. People bring with them a history that will influence how they connect, communicate, engage in conflict, deal with trust and betrayal, and deal with ruptures and repair”
Photo: AP/Shutterstock For our recent episode on quitting jobs, The Cut on Tuesdays talked to renowned therapist Esther Perel about her new podcast, How’s Work? We got to use only a little bit of our conversation on the show, so we wanted to share some more of what she had to say. Below, the author of Mating in Captivity and The State of Affairs describes how she got interested in her new subject.
The idea is this: Your relationship résumé, your history — your diary, if you want — doesn’t stay at the door when you come to work. It’s true that people bring their whole self to work, but it has a different meaning than the way we typically hear the sentence. It means that people bring with them a history that will influence how they connect, communicate, engage in conflict, deal with trust and betrayal, and deal with ruptures and repair.
