A simple, respectful way to pause conflict — and come back stronger.
Includes scripts, repair steps, and a printable re-entry plan you can use anytime tension rises.

When conflict escalates, most couples do one of two things — blow up or shut down.
This guide shows you a third way: how to pause without disconnecting.

Time-Out That Works is a concise, therapist-created guide that teaches you how to take a break from heated moments in a way that actually repairs trust and builds closeness.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Clear language for calling a time-out — without blame or defensiveness

  • Word-for-word scripts for both partners

  • Guidance on how long to pause (and what to do during that time)

  • A re-entry plan with repair phrases to rebuild connection

  • A printable protocol you can keep and reference

Perfect for couples who escalate fast, withdraw under stress, or want a shared plan that keeps both partners feeling safe and heard.

This mini guide gives you a repeatable process for cooling down and coming back together — one calm, connected step at a time.
