24-hour Rule
_______________________
If something genuinely matters, it will still matter tomorrow.
– No meaning making
– No relational decisions
– No conclusions
If your body is calmer after 24 hours, then you have permission to analyze. Briefly and surgically. ☀️
Reality Testing
Intense feelings that are separate from the situation’s reality. Must be tested. Seek external perspectives, check assumptions, focus on facts, be objective, logical, ask questions, and grab a paper and pen to tally negative self-labels against actual behaviors to analyze discrepancies.
I Never Cry
The stabilizer cannot destabilize. So dry your eyes and toughen up. There is dirty work to be done, it’s time to pull those sleeves up.
Post-Regulatory Withdrawal
Long-term harmony depends less on romance and more on regulation.
This is the quiet secret. The healthiest partners are not the most self-sacrificing. They are the most self-respecting.
