12-Step Couples Therapy Workbook
Samantha Richards
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.
