The Partner's Guide
Title: The Partner's Guide
Subtitle: What is actually happening. And what actually helps.
Description:
Your partner just had a baby. You want to show up well. But the old script, be strong, fix it, figure it out, isn't working. She seems far away, or furious, or both. And no one is asking how you're doing.
You weren't warned either. This guide explains what's happening in her nervous system, what's happening in yours, and what actually helps.
What you'll get:
What happened to her nervous system, and why it isn't personal.
What's happening to yours, and why it matters too.
Why you can't be her whole village, and what to do instead.
How to support without fixing, and stay with hard feelings, hers and yours.
What actually fills her tank, and how to care for your own.
Words to use when you don't know what to say.
What's inside: Six parts: what happened to her nervous system, what's happening to yours, the impossible position, tending to your own system, what actually fills her tank, and attuning to her and to yourself. Plus partner programs to examine and a full list of support lines.
Why it's different: Most partner advice is a to-do list. This guide gives you the understanding underneath, so you can stop guessing and start showing up. And it takes your nervous system seriously too.
