Promise: In 6\u20138 sessions, you\u2019ll calm the cycle, rebuild respectful communication, and create agreements you can actually follow\u2014so you stop having the same fight.
\nWho it\u2019s for:
\nConstant arguing or icy distance
\nOne pursues, one shuts down
\nTrust is shaky (not necessarily full infidelity)
\nYou want tools + structure, not open-ended therapy
\nYou\u2019re motivated to practice between sessions
\nWho it\u2019s not for (protects you + builds trust)
\nActive addiction that\u2019s not being treated
\nOngoing affairs with no commitment to stop
\nIntimate partner violence or coercive control
\nOne partner is already \u201cchecked out\u201d and refusing to engage
\nSession Map (simple + compelling)
\nSession 1 \u2014 The Pattern Audit

\nSession 2 \u2014 De-escalation + Repair
\nStop escalation in real time. Learn a short repair script and how to come back together after conflict.
\nSession 3 \u2014 Communication Reset
\nReplace criticism\/defensiveness with clear requests, active listening, and \u201cwhat I need\u201d language.

\nClarify emotional needs and boundaries. Create 2\u20133 concrete agreements (including conflict rules).
