A six-step framework for the conversation that follows a conflict.
Most couples' recurring problems never fully resolve. What distinguishes stable couples is repair: whether attempts to reconnect are made, and whether they land. This guide gives that process a structure — Regulate, Establish the window, Perspectives, Acknowledge, Identify the need, Request one change — with the clinical reasoning behind each step, example phrasing, and the most common error.
Includes a worked example of one incident through all six steps, an escalation protocol, and a version for when only one partner will participate.
Eleven pages, delivered as a PDF immediately after checkout.
