Use structured communication to prevent reactive arguments.
Couples often struggle with intimate conversations because they lack structure, leading to reactivity. 🗣️ Sentence Stems are supportive beginnings that anchor words in ownership rather than accusation.
We focus on four categories:
- Appreciation: Regulates the nervous system before vulnerability. 💎
- Body-Based Sharing: Keeps communication grounded and reduces blame. 🧘
- Naming Needs: Reframes needs as invitations, not demands. 🕊️
- Intimacy Check-ins: Replaces "guessing games" with clarity. 🎯
