What Is a Negative Cycle?
Ways to Spot the Pattern and Turn Back Toward Each Other
Public Preview (Not a Member Yet?)
Ever notice how some conversations with your partner circle back to the same tender spot, no matter how carefully you begin? That repeating tension is what we call a negative cycle—and in last night’s session Julie showed our group how to spot it, slow it down, and begin shifting the pattern together.
In the full replay (members only) you’ll explore:
The question beneath every argument—and how naming it softens defenses.
Why anxious partners tend to “protest” and avoidant partners “tune out,” plus kinder moves each can try instead.
A three-step check-in that can pause a spiraling conflict and create space for connection.
