Summary of Susan Campbell Ph.D. & John Grey Ph.D.'s Five-Minute Relationship Repair

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The human brain has a primitive warning system that was built to protect us from predators. It alerts us to potential threats to our survival, including a disturbance in our connection to our partner. #2 The process of falling in love is not always smooth, and can lead to the couple feeling as if they are pulling in opposite directions. Over time, this can lead to the couple feeling as if they are not safe in their relationship. #3 The pair experienced their first notable upset three months into their relationship. Eric arrived at Donna’s house to take her out for a romantic evening. She seemed tense, and when he asked her what was wrong, she began recounting how her boss had unfairly overloaded her with work that afternoon. #4 When someone triggers you, your body reacts before your mind does. Your body gets tense, and your mind races with thoughts or wants to do something - like run away. This is the flight response. When you are triggered, your stomach gets tight, and your breathing becomes shallow. You stop listening to the hurtful input and start defending yourself.
