- The Relationship Check-In: A Structured Practice for Staying Connected
A relationship check-in is a structured, scheduled conversation — usually weekly — where partners deliberately assess how they are doing as a couple: what’s working, what’s building up, and what each person needs. The practice is widely used in couples therapy and coaching, with a strong mechanistic rationale; direct RCT evidence for the structured check-in format specifically is limited. - Check the Facts, Made Practical
"Check the facts" is a DBT emotion regulation skill for testing whether an emotion is justified by the actual situation or whether it is firing based on an interpretation — a story the mind has added. The underlying mechanism (examining the evidence for a belief) is the same as cognitive restructuring in CBT, which has strong randomized-trial support for anxiety and depression. DBT packages it specifically as a regulation tool, to be used when the emotion may not fit the facts. - Paraphrase to check understanding
Restate the speaker’s point in your own words and ask if you got it right.

NVC is a four-part communication method — observations, feelings, needs, and requests — designed to express yourself honestly and hear others without blame or demand. It is widely taught and practitioner-validated, drawing on solid principles from emotion and communication research, though controlled outcome studies of NVC specifically are still limited.
- How To Track Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the beat-to-beat fluctuation in your heart rate — higher HRV reflects a more flexible autonomic nervous system and better capacity to adapt to stress. Biofeedback-based HRV training has genuine evidence behind it, especially for anxiety and stress; simple slow-breathing protocols produce much of the same effect without a device, though the size of the benefit is moderate rather than transformative.
