WHY THE POWER OF THE PAUSE?
A pause is not about ignoring your partner, avoiding accountability, or using silence as punishment.
It is an opportunity to interrupt an escalating interaction, regain emotional capacity, and return to the conversation with greater intention.
The goal is not to eliminate every disagreement. It is to build the skills to navigate disagreements without repeatedly damaging the connection.
Notice. Interrupt. Regulate. Return. Reconnect. Celebrate.
