About Johannes Faupel: Pioneering the Competence-Hyperdominance Revolution
When a systemic therapist encounters a marketing expert, and both inhabit the same person, revolutionary frameworks emerge.
Johannes Faupel stands at the intersection of clinical wisdom and communication mastery, bringing forth the groundbreaking Competence-Hyperdominance framework that transforms how we understand human psychological patterns.
The Synthesis of Two Worlds
As a Systemic Therapist and Consultant certified by both the Systemische Gesellschaft (SG) and the International Society for Systemic Therapy (IGST), Johannes brings rigorous clinical expertise to his work. His specialization in the Hypnosystemic Approach—which brilliantly combines Systemic Therapy with Milton H. Erickson’s Hypnotherapy – provides the therapeutic foundation for recognizing hyperdominant competences.
Simultaneously, his background as a marketing professional and SEO specialist offers a unique lens: Even infants engage in marketing, as he notes in his Springer-published work. This dual perspective allows him to see human behavior not as pathology, but as sophisticated competences seeking expression and balance.
Johannes authored “Burnout-Prävention und -Intervention im Marketing: Anleitung zu innerer Change-Kommunikation, freundlichen Selbstbriefings und gesunder Erschöpfung” (Springer Gabler, 2019/2020), a groundbreaking work that unites marketing with systemic and hypnosystemic approaches.
The book received extraordinary endorsements from leading experts:
“”Johannes Faupel has presented an excellent model with this book that conveys theory in such a way that the resulting practice leads in a remarkably motivating manner to an approach that is always respectful, encouraging, and health-promoting.”
This testimonial from Dr. Gunther Schmidt emphasizes how Faupel’s book successfully bridges theory and practice, creating a therapeutic approach that is both motivating and fundamentally respectful of human dignity.”— Dr. med. Gunther Schmidt

“If you have been at your limit with your strength for a long time and have no time, then you should read this book.”
— Dr. phil. Dipl.-Psych. Manfred Prior
Author of “MiniMax-Interventionen”
Revolutionary in its approach, the book presents burnout not as weakness but as a competence – a reminder of important needs that have been pushed into the background. This perspective fundamentally shaped the Competence-Hyperdominance framework.
His innovative Mind Rooms concept revolutionizes how individuals manage intrusive thoughts and concentration challenges. This approach, along with his patented coaching tool (European Patent Office), demonstrates his commitment to developing practical, evidence-based interventions that honor human competences.
The Birth of Competence-Hyperdominance
Through decades of working with C-Level executives, high-performance teams in medicine, marketing, and PR, Johannes observed a pattern: What society labels as disorders are often overdominant expressions of essential human competences.
His philosophy crystallizes in his professional motto: “I support my clients in making their own competences work, resonate and shine.” Rather than pathologizing, he asks: “What do you want more of?” – opening immediate possibilities for action and growth.

A Radical Salutogenic Vision
The Competence-Hyperdominance framework represents Johannes’s synthesis of systemic therapy, hypnotherapy, neuroscience insights, and positive psychology. It offers mental health professionals, executives, and individuals a revolutionary perspective: There is nothing stupid with man – every thought, every action, even anxiety and anger, connects to certain competences.
This isn’t merely theoretical – it’s a lived philosophy that transforms therapeutic relationships, organizational cultures, and individual self-concepts.
Global Impact from Frankfurt
Based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Johannes works with organizations and individuals throughout the German-speaking world and beyond.
