Our Shared Language
Your relationship vocabulary. These phrases have specific meaning between you now. Add more as your language grows.
The Cycle is Happening
Our signal that we're caught in the pattern — not fighting each other, but both reacting from fear. Either partner can say this. It means: let's slow down.
I'm in Withdrawal
For her: I'm pulling back to protect myself, not to punish you. I need a moment, not a rescue.
I'm Feeling Rejected
For him: Something triggered my fear of disconnection. I know it may not be intentional — I'm telling you so you understand what's happening for me.
Can We Pause?
A request to step back — not to abandon the conflict, but to return when both of us are ready to hear each other.
I Want to Find a Way Through This With You
A mid-conflict reminder that we're on the same team.

The Repair Ritual
Return here after any conflict. This ritual is always available to you. It doesn't expire.
1
Call the Pause
Name it and give it a time. "I need a moment. I'll be back in [time]." Without a time, a pause feels like abandonment.
2
The Soft Return
Whoever feels ready first — go. Presence before words. "Can I sit with you?"
3
The Acknowledgement
"I see that this hurt you." Not apology yet — just: I see it.
4
Reflect Back
"What I'm hearing is... Is that right?" Show that you were listening, not to agree — just to witness.
5
One True Thing
Each of you says one true thing from the heart. "The true thing is that I love you and I got scared."
6
The Gesture
Something small and physical. A hand held. A forehead rested. Tea made without asking.
After our last repair...

Scripts for Hard Moments
What to say — and what not to say — for both of you. Keep these close. Reach for them in real moments.
For Her
When you feel yourself shutting down:
"I want to talk about this. I just need a moment to find the words. I'm not leaving — I'll be back."
When he's pushing and you need space:
"I hear that you want to resolve this. I need [30 minutes] and then I'm all yours."
When you want to reconnect:
"I've been far away. I'm sorry. Can I come back now?"
For Him
When she goes quiet:
"I notice you've gone quiet. I'm not going to push. I'm right here when you're ready."
When fear of rejection spikes:
"She's not leaving. She's protecting something. I can stay steady."
When you want her to feel safe:
"You can tell me. Whatever it is — I'm not going anywhere. I want to understand."

Next Steps
The Reconnect Kit is a beginning, not an ending. Here's how to keep going.
🗓
Keep your weekly check-ins
Even when things are good — especially when things are good. Twenty minutes, three questions, every week.
🔁
Return to the repair ritual
It doesn't expire. Every time you use it, it becomes easier. Every time it becomes easier, conflict costs you less.
📖
Keep adding to your shared language
As your understanding of each other deepens, your vocabulary will too. Let the glossary grow.
🌱
Revisit your vision
Come back to Section 7 every few months. Let your shared vision evolve as you do.
💬
Consider deeper work
If you feel ready, look for a couples therapist specialising in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or attachment-based approaches. The tools here will support that work beautifully.
♡
Keep choosing each other
That is the work. Everything else is in service of that.
