Mirriam Prieß (born December 20, 1972 in Hamburg ) is a German doctor, management consultant and book author from Hamburg who specializes in the treatment focuses and topics of burnout and resilience .

Life
Mirriam Prieß studied medicine at the University of Hamburg, followed by a doctorate in the field of psychosomatics , where she dealt early with the topic of stress and coping with anxiety.
activity
Since 2002 she has been practicing as a doctor and therapist in a psychosomatic specialist clinic in Hamburg, where she was responsible, among other things, for the treatment of anxiety, depression and burnout. In his daily work with burnout patients, Prieß discovered that the central aspect of the syndrome is not to be found in overload, but in disturbed relationships. With this knowledge she developed her own therapeutic treatment concept, realigned her career and later concentrated on the outpatient treatment of stress disorders and executive coaching with her own practice in Hamburg. Prieß has been advising companies since 2005, accompanying them in restructuring and change processes and conducting individual coaching for managers in the field of conflict and stress management. She holds training courses and seminars in the field of health management and burnout prevention. She was also an expert reviewer, e.g. B. for assessing early retirement claims for psychosomatic illnesses, and from 2012 to 2016 as a lecturer at the Brand University of Applied Sciences Hamburg . In 2019 she founded the Dialogstark! Foundation, which has set itself the goal of promoting young people's internal and external dialogue skills.
Dialogue principle
The basis of her treatment and counseling concept is the dialogue principle she has developed. It is based on the assumption that a successful relationship is the key to health. This includes the interpersonal relationship, the relationship to oneself, the system and life itself. Illness arises when a relationship is missing or disturbed. Encounter is a prerequisite for a successful relationship. This, in turn, requires dialogue. Dialogue is not only to be understood as a verbal form of communication, but as an attitude towards oneself, fellow human beings, the environment and life systems, such as life itself. According to Prieß, several requirements must be met for a successful dialogue or the following assumptions apply:
- Balance between me, you and us
- Balance between taking and giving
- Encounter occurs only on an essential, not on a functional level
- Elements of the dialogue: interest, openness, empathy, eye level, respect, appreciation
- Successful internal dialogue is the basis for successful external dialogue
