The breathing pause

All tools

What: A calming 60-second breathing pause when the conversation gets too heated.

Why: When we get stressed (”flooded”) we can't listen. A short pause calms the body so you can return to the conversation.

How: Tap start, follow the circle (breathe in, hold, breathe out) for 60 seconds, then return to the conversation.

When the conversation heats up: take a calm pause. Follow the circle for 60 seconds.
