Tender love with leadership skills
For you, if…
- High status – little fulfillment.
You lead companies, projects and people – but you hardly have any room left for yourselves.
- Strong on the outside, exhausted on the inside.
They function well as a couple, but their individual selves are neglected.
- Functioning instead of designing.
You have become part of a system that demands performance but lacks meaning.
-
Success feels empty when you lose yourself.
It gets lonely at the top when there's no longer room for authenticity.
People with very high job demands or CEOs (≥50 hours/week) have a 40% higher risk of separation and divorce.

Why do so few couples manage to do this?
Burnout and emotional distance are not fate, but the result of your own self-sabotage. Use the intimacy of your partnership as a mirror to recognize the patterns that prevent you from reaching the next level, both professionally and personally. Only when the ego is silenced will the path to true effectiveness be clear!
How does the ego (automatism) devour your success?
Self-sabotage as a blind spot in your love and your most lucrative opportunities
Escape into work: Work becomes a safe haven to escape the emotional intensity of the relationship.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder: The need for security in business is transferred to the partner and stifles ease.
Opportunity avoidance: Unconscious fear that further success could ultimately destroy the relationship (success block).
Stress projection: External pressure is carried unfiltered into the "we," instead of using the relationship as a source of strength.

Path to Transformation
Recognize
Together, you notice in real time when stress takes over your reactions.
This conscious awareness alone interrupts the automatic pattern before withdrawal, attack, or escalation occurs.
Switch
You deliberately take a short break.
This calms the nervous system, and you get out of stress autopilot before old reaction patterns take over.
New Action
From this inner clarity, you consciously choose a new reaction.
Instead of reacting automatically, you act with curiosity, empathy and a solution-oriented approach, demonstrating openness, creativity and impact.
The 10 conflict-driven autopilots that stifle love and achievement
Prejudice loop
Assess/accuse
→ the other goes on defense or counterattack
Control loop
Pressure/Demand
→ Resistance, defiance, or passivity
Avoidance loop
Silence/postpone
→ Distance grows, topics remain toxic
Power loop
Performance instead of proximity
→ The relationship becomes the project, not the source
Perfection loop
High standards instead of gratitude
→ Constant criticism, little warmth, never enough
Adjustment loop
Harmony at any price
→ Own needs disappear, resentment accumulates
Alarm loop
Scanning for danger/overreacting
→ Security breaks down, drama becomes the norm
Unrest loop
Distraction/Speed
→ Real conversations are avoided, depth is lacking
sacrificial loop
"I can't change anything anyway."
→ Blame, stagnation, resignation
Know-it-all loop
To lecture/be correct → feelings are steamrolled, contact dies.
✔️We recognize sabotage patterns in real time : stressed communication, escalation, withdrawal, power struggles.
✔️We learn to regulate stress together , to speak clearly without attack or justification , and to manage conflicts in a way that creates connection instead of harm .
The result: emotional security, trust, and stability . The foundation of every sustainable relationship.
✔️The same patterns also sabotage leadership, decision-making, and team dynamics.
✔️Those who can regulate stress, communicate clearly and use conflicts constructively lead more calmly, make more precise decisions and remain productive under pressure .
The result: focused energy, less friction loss and sustainable peak performance , without internal wear.
Why is it faster together than alone?
Why is couples therapy often more effective than individual therapy?
✔️ Live instead of theory: Patterns emerge between you; so we change them there.
✔️ Mirror instead of blind spot: Partner feedback often hits exactly what self-perception overlooks.
✔️ Immediate transformation: New skills are trained directly as "we", not just understood.
How important is the future of your children to you, really?
If your children's future is important to you, good intentions alone are not enough.
Children don't learn what their parents say –
but rather what they experience , especially under stress .
Unresolved stress and defense mechanisms unconsciously continue to have an impact on everyday life as a couple: through tone of voice, withdrawal, escalation, or avoidance of closeness. This is how generational stress patterns develop – quietly and automatically.
In our epigenetically based, cognitive-behavioral couples program, we make these stress and protection patterns visible, address them in real contact, and resolve them at their root.
So that children no longer have to regulate what adults have never processed.
The double effect: imitation or counter-reaction
Thus, children take on the saboteurs of their parents.
Parents as role models (imitation)
Control freak ⟹ takes control, becomes perfectionistic
Critics develop harsh self-criticism, evaluate others
Performance-driven ⟹ is driven, has difficulty switching off
Hyperrationalism explains away feelings, remains objective
Withdrawn individuals become emotionally closed off and commitment-phobic.
Restless becomes impulsive, disoriented
Rescuer/Pleaser ⟹ becomes dependent, insecure without help
The person burdened by guilt/shame becomes small, compliant, and driven by shame.
Perfectionist ⟹ becomes perfectionistic, strong fear of mistakes
Security-obsessed ⟹ becomes anxious, avoidant, overly cautious
Parents as an enemy image (counter-reaction)
Control freak ⟹ becomes passive, refuses to cooperate, shuts down internally
Critics either conform excessively or rebel silently.
Performance-driven ⟹ blocks performance, sabotages goals
Hyperrational ⟹ provokes emotions, escalates to force a reaction
Withdrawal ⟹ clings, controls closeness, seeks security
Restless person becomes over-adapted, “too grown-up” (over-responsibility)
Rescuer/Pleaser ⟹ hyper-autonomous, lets no one get close
Those burdened by guilt/shame become hard, defiant, and emotionally closed off.
Perfectionist → refuses to perform, sabotages goals, lacks sensitivity
Security-obsessed ⟹ becomes risk-taking, rebellious, boundary-testing
Be bold and take your relationship to the highest level with our "Love & Performance" program.
