30 SCRIPTS TO HELP YOU:

Handle Difficult Conversations

30 scripts for when you’re spiraling, overthinking, scared to speak up, or scared of pushing your partner away.

Not Every Difficult Conversation Should Lead to a Fight.

But you don't need "perfect communication," you just need a place to start.

Starting the Hard Conversations

Scripts for gently breaking the ice...

  • For those hour-long, or 5-minute heart-to-hearts

  • Quit waiting for the "right" moment to happen

  • Open the door with clarity & confidence so you can show up intentionally

When Your Feeling Stuck

Relationship anxiety shows up in silence...

  • You're not arguing, but your mind is getting loud

  • Get out of your head & back into connection

  • Without apologizing or over-explaining yourself

Handling Defensiveness

For moments your partner is shutting down...

  • You tried to speak up only to be met with defensiveness

  • You leave saying "I shouldn't have said anything"

  • Instead, protect your voice without escalating the tension

PLUS 3 OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE THESE COMPLEX TALKS TEND TO HAPPEN

The swipe file includes extra guidance to help you:

  • Ground yourself before the conversation even begins

  • Close the conversation - because what happens after is just as important as what happened before

  • Understand what realistic progress looks like

You don't need to be in a "bad relationship" to feel anxious about it.

Maybe you replay conversations. Overthink every tone shift.

Struggle to bring things up without fearing you’ll push them away.

And when your partner seems distant, or defensive, your brain fills in the gaps with worst-case scenarios.

That’s not you being “too much.” That’s relationship anxiety.

Before I recognized this was what I was dealing with, everything I said seemed to start a fight, or immediately invite defensiveness. I left most conversations saying, “I shouldn’t have said anything at all.” 

I wished someone would hand me a script so I wouldn’t mess it up every time... But I never got those scripts, and for years I felt lost, like I was always the problem.

That’s why I wrote these scripts - because not every hard conversation need to create tension.
