IN THE MOMENT / MOBILE GUIDE

Pause with purpose.
Return with care.

You do not have to finish every difficult conversation while overwhelmed. Choose words that communicate care, request space, and keep a realistic path open for continuing when it is safe and appropriate.

STEP 01 / FIND YOUR WORDS

What is most difficult right now?

Choose what fits. You can change your selection without saving personal information.

LANGUAGE YOU CAN USE

“I care about this conversation. I am feeling overwhelmed and need a little time to settle. Can we agree on a time to return?”

STEP 02 / MAKE A RETURN PLAN

When can you revisit this?

Select an approximate time or choose a specific date. Returning should be voluntary, safe, and mutually workable.

The calendar file includes a reminder five minutes beforehand when supported by your calendar. You must import it into your device calendar. Nothing is automatically sent to you or your partner from this quick guide.
