Does this feel familiar?

You want to communicate better.
You’ve tried.

But somehow…

You end up in the same arguments and patterns again and again.

A man and a woman are standing back to back outdoors with arms crossed, looking away from each other in a wooded area with sunlight filtering through trees.

You replay conversations in your head
Thinking of what you should have said
Or what you’ll say next time

You shut down… or go quiet to keep the peace
But inside, resentment builds

Or you finally speak up… and it comes out sharper than you meant
Now you’re dealing with the conflict and the aftermath

You feel misunderstood, even when you’re trying your best
Like you’re speaking… but not actually being heard

You try to explain your feelings… and it turns into defensiveness or blame
And suddenly you’re further apart than when you started

You start questioning yourself
“Am I too much?”
“Am I not communicating clearly?”
“Why does this keep happening?”

And maybe the hardest part…

You care about this relationship.
You don’t want to keep hurting each other.

But you don’t know how to actually repair when things go sideways.

Here’s the truth:

Most of us were never taught what to do after conflict happens.

So we default to:
Avoiding
Escalating
Shutting down
Or trying to “talk it out” without a real structure

And none of that actually rebuilds trust.

A woman with a short hairstyle and tattoos on her arm, crying with her eyes closed, touching foreheads with a man with long dreadlocks who is smily and comforting her. They are indoors, close to each other, showing affection.

This is where things start to change.

What if conflict didn’t mean disconnection…
But became a path back to each other?

What if you knew exactly what to do in the moment it matters most?

WHAT IS

THE ART OF REPAIR?

The Art of REPAIR is a 6-step methodology that helps you turn rupture into reconnection.

Because conflict isn’t the problem.
Not knowing how to repair is.

Instead of guessing what to say, shutting down, or going in circles, you’ll learn how to:

Regulate your nervous system so you can stay present
So you don’t say things you regret, shut down, or escalate the situation.
When you’re grounded, you can actually hear and be heard.

Understand each other’s reality instead of arguing over who’s right
So you stop having the same conversation on repeat.
When both realities are understood, defensiveness drops and connection becomes possible.

Communicate impact with clarity
So your feelings actually land, instead of getting dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood.
This is where people finally feel seen.

Restore trust with meaningful repair
So it’s not just “I’m sorry” and move on.
You learn how to rebuild trust in a way that actually sticks.

At its core, this work turns conflict into a doorway to deeper connection.

INSIDE THIS COURSE,

YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO:

Stay grounded instead of reactive in conflict
So you stop defaulting to shutdown, attack, or avoidance

Slow conversations down before they escalate
Because going too fast is one of the biggest reasons conflict gets worse, not better

Create shared reality, even when you disagree
So you stop arguing about what happened and start understanding each other

Express your feelings and needs clearly
Without blame, spiraling, or walking on eggshells

Take responsibility without collapsing into shame
So accountability actually builds trust instead of shutting things down

Repair in a way that actually rebuilds trust
Not surface-level apologies, but real change people can feel

Return to connection again and again
Because repair is not a one-time event, it’s a lifelong relational skill

“This workshop has the potential to impact you for the rest of your life if you are willing to be an open and curious Student. There is so much to learn, and this process makes it easy and accessible to apply new ideas and concepts in practical ways so that you feel confident to go out into the world and practice repair right away.”

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

This is not just another communication course.

Most communication tools fall apart the moment you’re triggered.

This is different because it works when it actually matters.

Structured
You’re not left guessing. You’ll know exactly what to do, even in high-stress moments.

Trauma-aware
We work with your nervous system, not against it
Because if your body is flooded, no communication tool will work

Skill-based
You don’t just understand it intellectually
You practice it until it becomes natural

Built for real life
This works in the middle of arguments, not just in theory

WHO THIS IS FOR

This course is for you if:

You keep having the same conflict on repeat and nothing changes

You either avoid conflict… or go too hard when you finally speak up

You want deep, honest connection, not surface-level peace

You’re willing to look at your part, without taking on all the blame

You want tools that actually work in real conversations, not just in your head

It’s not your fault.

You weren’t taught how to do this.
And neither were the people who raised you.

Most of us learned to:
Avoid
Explode
Shut down
Or stay stuck in resentment

But conflict doesn’t have to break your relationships.

With the right skills, it can actually strengthen them.

You can learn this.

  • "What a fantastic workshop. I attended with my wife. I was nervous going in, not knowing what to expect. I was nervous that one of us would find it valuable and the other would be polarized. It didn’t help that we couldn’t think of any low charge conflict. All of our unresolved conflict felt highly charged. I was afraid we might get partway through something and end up worse than where we started. During the event I felt both put at ease by the structure and format and able to work at an emotional edge that is not easy for me to access. That combo was just right and novel. I had huge discoveries within the workshop and I came out of the workshop with clarity and hope. I would absolutely repeat this workshop as there is a need for practice as well as participate in future offerings from Hazel-Grace and Nico."

    —Art of REPAIR Participant

  • "I learned a lot about the REPAIR process from this workshop and found it incredibly helpful. As a therapist/coach, I work with couples to repair frequently. The tools I learned in school have always felt incomplete. This felt like the missing piece. Hazel Grace is also a great instructor and is skilled at making space for, and meeting her group, where each participant is."

    —Art of REPAIR Participant

  • "Hazel-Graces walks the walk and talks the talk in their life and in their workshops. They’re a clear and compassionate communicator who demonstrates the confidence that comes from knowing how to resolve ruptures in relationships without leaving a mess of unresolved threads in its wake. I am grateful to have these tools in my toolkit and to have Hazel-Grace leading us toward great wholeness and togetherness."

    —Art of REPAIR Participant

  • "My partner and I have a really wonderful relationship and we've got our own method of managing our repair process between ourselves. But, what we were lacking in is a solid framework for doing repair with others. I was super curious about the exact nature of the process and whether or not it would fit for us or to use with others. The presentation and the information that Dr. Yates shared with us was well organized and it all flowed well. We got to go through examples and exercises for practicing the work. While I felt like I understood the material and the process I felt trepidation about using it. With the support of my partner, I used the REPAIR process on someone whose actions had seemed quite incongruous with what I would have liked. He wasn't honest and forthright about something he was doing and hid it from me. That was upsetting. I did a REPAIR process with him and it went pretty well. I've got another one scheduled in a week. The process is generic enough and open enough that it can be adapted for use with just about anyone and any situation. "
