Book “Safe Word – Manage Relationships”

When love turns into a fight - there is a way back

Discover the H.E.A.R.T. method: The scientifically sound way to stop conflicts before they destroy your relationship.

You love your partner

And yet you will find yourself again and again in the same dispute. The words become louder, the injuries deeper, and in the end you both ask yourselves: How could it get so far again?

You’re not alone. Millions of couples experience the same. But few know:It’s not because you don’t fit together. It’s because nobody ever taught you how to fight right.

This book gives you the tools you need to get out of the spiral of accusations, retreats and hurt feelings and create a relationship that does not work despite conflicts but grows through them.

The problem

Are you familiar?

  • You always argue about the same topics without finding a solution.
  • In hot moments you say things you regret later.
  • After a fight, it takes days until you feel close again.
  • You feel your partner doesn’t really understand you.
  • You both don’t know how to get out of the escalation when it comes to hot.
  • Sometimes you ask yourself: is this still love or habit?

The good news: There’s a way. And he begins with a single word.

The solution: The book

Safe Word – Manage relationships

With the H.E.A.R.T. method to resolve conflicts and strengthen connection

 

This book is not a theoretical relationship advisor. It is a practical tool for couples who do not want to give up their relationship but want to make them conscious.

What you learn in this book:

The Safe Word principle:How a single word in the middle of the dispute can change everything and why it is the most powerful deescalation tool you can have in your relationship.

The H.E.A.R.T. method:A scientifically sound 5-step technique developed by the Soul Academy, which helps you get back from combat mode in seconds.

Neurobiology of the dispute:What happens in your body when you fight why Cortisol makes you “dumb” and how you balance your nervous system.

Detecting old patterns:Why you always have the same conflicts and how you can cure the deeper wounds behind it.

Physical deescalation:How essential oils, breathing techniques and sound shells help you calm your body before your mind can.

Intimacy after conflict:Why sex often does not work after a dispute and how you find the way back to the physical connection.

The vision of a conscious relationship:As you come from “survival” to “fulfilling” and create a partnership that lets you both grow.
