The Mistake Couples Make After They Calm Down

Most couples know they should take a time-out when conflict becomes heated. But what happens after the time-out? Many couples calm down, return to the conversation, and immediately restart the same argument. In this video, I share a practical framework for moving from emotional reactivity toward connection. Learn how to unpack experiences such as feeling "overwhelmed," identify the thoughts, emotions, and urges driving conflict, and take small steps toward the kind of relationship you want to create together. The goal is not self-sacrifice. The goal is not self-centeredness. The goal is learning how to respond in ways that honor both yourself and the relationship.
