Hello, I'm Esther Perel. I am a relationship therapist and New York Times bestselling author of The State of Affairs and Mating in Captivity. You may also know me from my TED talks or my podcast, Where Should We Begin.

On this channel, you'll find a range of videos: short Q&As answering subscriber questions, longer explorations into the future of modern relationships, and interviews with therapists and other experts in the field. This is a conversation that is so important in this moment. I welcome you to ask questions, participate, and join me as we explore the intricacies of love and desire.


Esther Perel

I’m hearing quite a bit about burnout lately, from friends, clients and colleagues. It seems that many of us are in need of a break right now. As I take a moment of vacation, I am reminding myself (and all of you) that a break is freedom from any “must do”. It is not a chance to do all the things we've been neglecting but an opportunity to just be, to release the need to produce and optimize, and instead allowing life to happen around us. By relinquishing agency, we can truly relax and restore our bodies.

This month, we will be skipping our virtual workshop to rest and prepare for the month to come as we plan to focus on healing and recovery in the fall. I look forward to seeing you all in September, and invite you to follow my blog and social channels as we explore First Dates and Dating Advice through the rest of this month.
