The Framework
Three Steps, Practiced Together
01
Pause
Creating space between a situation and a reaction. This pause allows emotions to settle and awareness to grow.
02
Reflect
Exploring what's happening beneath the surface — emotions, triggers, needs, and patterns.
03
Respond
Choosing a response that aligns with your values, supports connection, and builds trust.
