Details
by Matt Wade (Author)
A gentle, research-informed path for couples who want to heal, reconnect, and begin again.
Every relationship experiences hurt-big or small moments that leave partners feeling misunderstood, distant, or overwhelmed. But healing doesn't happen through pressure, perfection, or rushing toward forgiveness. Healing happens through connection.
The HEART Model(TM) offers couples a simple, powerful, five-step process for moving through emotional wounds and back toward each other:
H - Honor the Hurt
E - Empathize with the Experience
A - Acknowledge Responsibility
R - Release the Resentment
T - Turn Toward Repair
Created by relationship therapist Matt Wade, LMFT, the HEART Model(TM) is grounded in attachment science, relational neuroscience, and years of clinical work with couples. Through relatable stories, compassionate guidance, and practical tools, this book gives you a gentle rhythm for reconnection-without forcing forgiveness or minimizing your pain.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Name your hurt with clarity and courage
- Understand each other's emotional world
- Take responsibility without collapsing into shame
- Loosen resentment in a way that feels safe
- Rebuild trust through small, consistent turns toward each other
Filled with worksheets, prompts, repair scripts, and real-life examples, The HEART Model(TM) is more than a book-it's a pathway back to tenderness, safety, and closeness.
Whether your relationship feels strained, stuck, or simply ready for deeper connection, the HEART Model(TM) offers you a map.
A way forward.
A way home.
