12-Step Couples Therapy Workbook

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Inside, you and your partner will learn how to: - Build your “Team Us” identity with a one-page charter that sets your purpose, decision rules, and red lines. - Catch tension before it explodes, using a simple traffic-light system that makes stress visible and manageable. - Write Six Rules of Engagement you can both recall under pressure, turning conflict into workable conversations. - Open softly and get further, with phrases that lower defensiveness and protect trust. - Make your partner feel deeply heard, even when you disagree, by mastering validation instead of debate. - Use timeouts that actually bring you back, with a protocol that prevents silence from feeling like rejection. - Turn fights into workshops, designing small, testable plans instead of courtroom battles. - Set boundaries that breathe, protecting dignity and privacy without building walls. - Create time, tech, and privacy agreements that reduce digital jealousy and prevent late-night spirals. - Decode your real mix of love languages, translating preferences into small daily actions that land. - Rebuild after betrayal with a structured path: stabilization, no-contact agreements, trigger regulation, and paced reconnection. - Foster intimacy that adapts, lowering brakes, raising accelerators, and keeping closeness alive across different seasons. - Build a money system that fits, ending recurring fights with short money dates and safeguards against financial secrecy. - Make the invisible mental load visible, so household management stops falling silently on one partner. - Run your week like a team, with a 15-minute operational huddle that prevents chaos and aligns calendars. - Catch relapses early and recover fast, using visible cues and agreed resets before small slips turn into crises.
