As Seen In
You're Lying in Bed Next to Your Partner, But You Feel Miles Away.
Another argument ended with slammed doors or icy silence. Now you're both doom-scrolling because talking feels too risky.
The fight started over something small. The dishes. A tone of voice. A forgotten errand.
But within minutes, you were back in that same exhausting loop. The one you've been trapped in for months. Maybe years.
You've tried "I" statements. You've scheduled date nights. You've saved the Instagram posts, watched the TikToks.
You know what you're supposed to do.
But in the heat of the moment? None of it works.
Here's what no one tells you: You can't use communication tools when your nervous system is hijacked.
Your prefrontal cortex goes offline. You're not thinking. You're reacting.
And afterward? The apology feels hollow. "I'm sorry" becomes a band-aid over a wound that never heals.
So the resentment piles up. The distance grows. And you start wondering: Maybe we're just incompatible.
You're Not Incompatible. You Just Never Learned How to Repair.
Think about it: We spend years learning algebra, but no one ever teaches us how to recover when we've hurt the person we love most.
Conflict is inevitable. Research shows even the happiest couples argue.
The difference? They know how to come back together afterward.
Most relationship advice focuses on avoiding conflict or "communicating better." But that's only half the equation.
The real skill is repair: bridging the gap after things go wrong.
The Secret: You Have to Regulate Before You Can Communicate.
When your heart rate spikes, your brain loses access to rational thought.
You literally cannot use an "I-statement" when you're flooded.
So the solution isn't more communication tips. It's a system that works with your biology instead of against it.

That's Why I Created This Course.
I've spent years sitting with couples in their hardest moments. And I kept seeing the same pattern:
80% of couples wait until they're in crisis to seek help.
By then, resentment has hardened. Trust has eroded. Repair becomes so much harder.
But here's what I realized: Couples don't need years of therapy to stop fighting. They need specific tools to understand their patterns and biological reactions to conflict.
Relationships don't come with a manual. So I wrote one.
Hi, I'm Melissa Divaris Thompson, LMFT
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and couples educator. Through my practice, Embracing Joy Psychotherapy in NYC, I help couples slow down conflict, understand their patterns, and turn toward each other instead of away.
When I started sharing relationship education online, my content went viral. Millions of people were craving guidance and language for what they were experiencing.
One thing I know for sure: Relationships don't come with a manual, and mine certainly didn't.
This course contains the exact framework I use with private clients, distilled into a system you can access from anywhere.
Why This Works When Other Advice Fails
TikTok gives you 60-second tips.
This course gives you a system.
These aren't "life hacks." They're psychological protocols backed by Attachment Theory and Neuroscience. This is the depth of the therapy office, delivered to your laptop.
The "Nervous-System-First" Approach
Most advice focuses on "what to say." This course focuses on Regulation before Communication.
And unlike products that promise a "conflict-free" relationship, this one validates reality: Conflict is inevitable. It's even healthy, if you know how to repair.
Introducing: From Rupture to Repair
A step-by-step digital course that gives you the clinical tools to decode your conflict patterns, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild deep emotional safety.
