2 days agoThe Five-Step Path From Rupture to Repair
Effective conflict resolution in relationships requires learned skills like pausing, vulnerability, and deliberate repair rather than relying on love alone.
Reset is the fifth and final step in the PACER model we developed, as described in our book Love. Crash. Rebuild.. It's the point at which couples recognize that the relationship they are stepping back into is not the same one that ruptured-because they themselves have changed. Reset marks the moment when new patterns begin to replace old ones and the couple can experience their relationship as something distinct, something shared, something more resilient than before.
