How The Repair Protocol Works
The Repair Protocol is part of Annie’s intentional partnership work. It addresses how driven women find, choose, build, and repair partnership in the structural conditions of modern life.
- Acknowledgement. name what happened, including impact on the partner, without defensiveness.
- Responsibility. own the part that’s yours. Not theirs. Not the situation’s.
- Repair action. a concrete behavior change or reconnection move, not an abstract ‘I’ll do better.’
- Re-attunement. return to physical and emotional proximity. The repair is incomplete until reconnection is felt in the body.
Who The Repair Protocol Serves
driven women working with the proverbial house of life. Specifically, leaders, physicians, entrepreneurs, executives, and the women who have built impressive external lives but feel a heaviness internally.
Where The Repair Protocol Lives
The Repair Protocol appears in the following places in Annie’s clinical work:
- Individual therapy with Annie
