Emotionally Focused Therapy: Sue Johnson's Framework for Lasting Bond Repair - Emotional Agility, Made Practical
Emotional agility, developed by psychologist Susan David, is the ability to engage with your emotions — including the difficult ones — with curiosity and without being controlled by them. Unlike toxic positivity, it does not suppress or reframe negative feelings away; it asks you to see them clearly and choose your response from values rather than from reflex. The framework draws heavily on ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), which has a well-established research base. - Build emotional energy rituals to buffer against daily depletion
Emotional energy is the quality of emotional availability you bring to work and relationships — and it is trainable through brief daily rituals.
Energy Management, Not Time Management - Self-regulation
Manage disruptive impulses and moods so you respond by choice rather than reflex.

- When things get emotionally charged I retreat into being calm and logical, marshaling airtight arguments from behind a wall
- We both understand our pattern perfectly by now
