This guide helps you calm down after an argument with a partner, parent, friend or colleague. Your body can stay on alert for hours after a fight, and this walks you through the first hour, the rest of the day and the next morning.

It is about settling your own system first, so that any repair conversation goes better.

What is inside

  • Why it happens, explained in plain language, with a diagram
  • Step-by-step tools: shake-off, walking meditation, a self-compassion break, two-hand soothe, a co-regulation call and safe figure visualisation
  • A recovery timeline: the first hour, one to four hours later, and the next morning
  • A recovery log
  • A page on limits and when to get more help

Who it is for

  • Anyone whose body holds onto an argument for days
  • People who rush to fix things and end up in round two
  • Anyone who shuts down after conflict and wants a way back
