The Integrative Resentment and Fairness Reset for Couples-SHARE

THE INTEGRATIVE RESENTMENT AND FAIRNESS RESET FOR COUPLES-SHARE

Couple's Self-Guided Edition

✨ Created by MindContinuum by Dr. David MacIntyre Consulting

Resentment often grows quietly when physical work, planning, remembering, emotional support, financial responsibility, caregiving, or decision-making feels chronically unbalanced. The visible argument may concern one task, while the deeper experience is feeling alone, unseen, controlled, or taken for granted.

The Integrative Resentment and Fairness Reset for Couples helps partners make the full workload visible, hear its emotional impact, understand the protective parts behind scorekeeping or avoidance, and build a clear agreement based on present capacity and shared values.

This professionally designed, three-page digital resource integrates Imago-informed dialogue, Family Systems parts awareness, and Focused Mindfulness into a structured process couples can use together at home.

✅ WHAT'S INCLUDED

🌿 THE SHARE METHOD

🔹 S - See the Whole Load

🔹 H - Hear the Impact

🔹 A - Acknowledge the Protective Parts

🔹 R - Redistribute Realistically

🔹 E - Evaluate and Adjust

SHARE moves couples beyond arguing about whose list is correct. Each partner first identifies visible and invisible labor separately. After both experiences are mirrored, the couple considers time, energy, health, values, standards, ownership, support, and a date to review the agreement.

🛠️ HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE

• Choose one category of responsibility rather than the entire relationship

• Rate activation and begin only when both partners are at 6 or below

• List visible tasks, planning, remembering, and emotional labor separately

• Take turns describing the impact without debating facts

• Identify scorekeeping, controlling, overfunctioning, avoiding, or rebellious parts

• Redistribute responsibility according to current capacity and values

• Clarify ownership, standards, timing, and needed support

• Set a review date and close with appreciation

💞 WHO IS THIS FOR?
