The Repair

Six evenings with Tara. The core of what couples therapy teaches, at your own kitchen table.

Do Evening One free, tonight

No card. No sign-up. Twenty-five minutes, one phone between you.

Know the season you’re in.

The Repair was built for three of them. If one of these reads like your kitchen, you’re in the right place.

Six evenings. This is what they lead back to.

The slump

You found your person. Lately it just doesn't feel like it.

Nothing dramatic. Roommates with a shared calendar. Conversations that are all logistics. You miss them while they're in the room.

The loop

The same fight in different clothes, twice a week now.

Eggshells in your own kitchen. One of you chases the conversation, one of you leaves it, and both of you sleep badly afterwards.

The maybe

You'd try couples therapy, if it weren't $318 and a waitlist.

You don't need a diagnosis. You need the skills therapy teaches, without the Tuesday-afternoon appointment and the season of savings.

Here is the part nobody says out loud: nothing is wrong with either of you. Nobody ever taught you this. There is a trainable set of skills therapists spend session after session teaching, and research has refined it for fifty years. The Repair is that skill set, taught in six evenings, in your home, when the kids are down.

Six evenings. Six moves.

Each one takes you from somewhere you’ve been stuck to somewhere you can breathe.

Evening 1

The Ceasefire

From fights that explode and go nowhere,
to fights that can stop mid-air.

Free · start free week

You leave with

The Time-Out Signal

Learn why your body hijacks the argument (flooding), agree on a time-out signal that isn't a door slam, and meet the four habits that predict breakups so you can catch them mid-sentence.

Evening 2

The Fight Beneath the Fight

From the same fight in different clothes,
to the need underneath, named.

The Need Beneath

Take your most repeated fight and decode it: the dishes are fairness, the phone is attention, the calendar is whose life counts. Leave with the real need in words.

Evening 3

The Dance

From you're the problem, no you are,
to the pattern is the problem.

The Pattern Interrupt

Most couples are stuck in one loop: one pursues, one withdraws, and each makes the other worse. See your loop drawn out, and learn the one move that breaks it.

Evening 4

Being Heard

From talking past each other,
to one conversation where both of you land.

You leave with

Your Two Paragraphs

The full Untangle exchange on the thing that matters most right now: each of you builds your paragraph, hears the other's, and says back what you heard.

Evening 5

The 69%

From trying to win arguments that can't be won,
to dialogue with a difference that isn't going anywhere.

The Dialogue Move

Research says 69% of couple conflict is perpetual: it comes from who you each are. Pick yours, stop trying to solve it, and learn to talk about it without the gridlock.

Evening 6

The Repair Kit

From goodwill that evaporates by Tuesday,
to your own kit: phrases, rituals, and one agreement.

Unlocks in order

You leave with

Your Repair Phrases

Build the kit you keep: your couple's own repair phrases for mid-fight, one small weekly ritual of connection, and one concrete agreement, written down and spoken aloud.

What it stands on.

One framework carries the method: WinWin Conversations. Three bodies of research hold it up.

WinWin Conversations

The spine of everything here, from Kamal Sarma's book: your job isn't to listen, it's to make them feel heard, and everybody has different rules for feeling heard.

The Gottman research

The physiology of fights: flooding, the Four Horsemen, repair attempts, and the finding that 69% of couple conflict never resolves, only softens.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

The dance beneath the fight: one pursues, one withdraws, and each move makes the other's worse. Sue Johnson's map of getting out.

Nonviolent Communication

The grammar of an honest sentence: observation, feeling, need, request. Marshall Rosenberg's four parts, in every untangle.

This is not therapy, and it says so. It’s the trainable part, trained.

What could cost you $15,000 is $25 a month

The average US divorce runs about $15,000. A single couples session runs $150 to $318, and a year of weekly therapy $8,000 and up. Your relationship shouldn’t have to wait for either.

The Untangle membership

7 days free.

$25

/month after

A year of everything costs less than one therapy session. The first week costs nothing at all.

The promise, in writing

Do all six evenings. If the two of you don’t fight better than you did, your money back, no questions, no forms. We can afford that promise because the method is older than we are.

Frequently asked

The questions you’re already asking.

Is this couples therapy?+

No, and we'll never pretend it is to you. It's the trainable communication core that therapy teaches, without the diagnosis or the treatment. If you're already seeing a therapist, tell Tara: she'll treat the evenings as practice between your sessions and steer the big discoveries back to their room, where they belong.

My partner will roll their eyes.+

Probably. Ours would too. That's exactly why Evening One is free, takes twenty-five minutes, and asks nothing of them except sitting on the couch they were already on. In our experience the eye-roll doesn't survive the part where you two pick a ridiculous time-out signal together and one of you laughs.

Why is it built on WinWin Conversations?+

Because the book found the thing under every technique: listening isn't the job, making the other person feel heard is, and everybody has different rules for feeling heard. Kamal Sarma built that framework over a decade of real rooms, and every one of Tara's moves runs on it. The Method page tells the hospital-room story it started with.

What if we start fighting in the middle of it?+

Evening One plans for exactly you: it teaches the ceasefire before anything else. Tara watches the temperature and slows the room down. You will never be asked to push through a flooded argument, and the mid-fight Toolbox is free if one starts on a Tuesday.

Why not just use the free untangles?+

Keep using them, they're staying free. But an untangle handles the fight in front of you; The Repair retrains the pattern that keeps producing the fights. One is the conversation, the other is the training.

What if it doesn't work for us?+

Then it costs you nothing. Do all six evenings; if the two of you don't fight better than before, every dollar back, no questions, no forms, no awkward call. That promise is in writing above.

What happens to what we say?+

It stays yours. Nothing you say is used to train AI models, nothing is shown to anyone, and you can delete all of it whenever you want. If anything unsafe ever comes up, Tara stops and points you to real humans first.

The same fight always comes back.

Until the two of you learn the moves it’s made of. Evening One is free, and tonight counts.
