mid-argument, before it turns into a fight
on feedback they think is unfair
and you need the real reason, not the stated one
and every question makes it worse
Two questions to start — plain, low-stakes, gets both people talking.
5 minutes: mirroring, labeling, paraphrasing. A moderator watches and times it.
The listener hears first, then the group — specific, not generic.
Participants track progress on a scale from a broken heart to a whole one — every point traceable to an actual call, not a badge for showing up. Reported by participants and moderators, not a clinical claim:
After every call, we publish an honest, de-identified recap — what was practiced, what worked, what came up. Not a highlight reel: the actual record.
Join our English community on Whop, pick any call in the schedule and take a seat as a listener — see how a round runs, what the moderator catches, what the group notices. No experience needed.
