Module 1 — Topics of Contention
Every couple has recurring “hot spots” — the issues that always lead to tension. In this module, you'll uncover why certain topics trigger strong emotional reactions and learn how to approach them without fear, conflict, or defensiveness.
Module 2 — Communication Breakdowns
Misunderstandings happen not because couples don’t talk, but because they talk past each other. Here, you’ll identify where communication collapses and learn strategies to rebuild clarity and connection, even in difficult dialogue.
Module 3 — Harmful Words & Painful Phrases
Words can heal, but they can also wound. This module helps you recognize the language that damages trust and emotional safety — and gives you tools to replace it with healthy, respectful communication.
Module 4 — Sarcasm
Sarcasm often hides hurt, anger, or unmet needs. Learn why sarcastic communication erodes intimacy and discover how to express difficult emotions without using humor as a weapon.
Module 5 — Criticism
Criticism is one of the fastest ways to create emotional disconnect. This module teaches you how to shift from blame to vulnerability, and how to express needs without attacking your partner.
Module 6 — Defensiveness
Defensiveness blocks understanding and escalates conflict. Here, you’ll learn to stay open, self-aware, and grounded — even when you feel misunderstood, blamed, or overwhelmed.
Module 7 — Teasing
Teasing can be playful, but it can also be painful. This module helps you understand when teasing crosses emotional boundaries and how to rebuild safety and sensitivity in your interactions.
Module 8 — Debate
Some couples fall into debate mode instead of connection mode. Learn how to shift from “winning the argument” to “understanding each other,” and turn conflict into teamwork rather than competition.
Module 9 — Disengagement, Avoidance, or Stonewalling
When one partner shuts down, the entire relationship suffers. This module explores why stonewalling happens and gives you tools to stay present, emotionally engaged, and connected — even during hard conversations.
Module 10 — End Communication Chaos
In this final module, you’ll learn how to create structure, boundaries, and emotional clarity in every conversation. Say goodbye to spirals, interruptions, and confusion — and hello to calm, productive, loving communication.
