Is It Starting to Feel Like You're Fighting on Opposite Teams?

 Read More

You're not imagining it.

The tension. The distance. The repeating arguments about housework, parenting styles, screen time, and who’s pulling their weight.

You're trying to fix things — doing what you can to stop the cycle and find some relief. But instead of feeling closer, it’s like you’re speaking two completely different languages — and everything gets lost in translation.

You’re overwhelmed, navigating the chaos of raising a family without the emotional roadmap for how to stay connected through it all.

The Truce Program is a 6-week journey designed to help you understand what's really going on underneath the stress — and give you the tools to repair, reconnect, and realign with the kind of relationship and family life you want.

Whether you're doing this alone or inviting your partner in along the way, this program will help you shift the patterns that are keeping you stuck.

"We barely talk anymore. And when we do, it ends in a fight."

It happens slowly…

The connection starts to fade. Resentments pile up. Communication breaks down.

You start feeling more like co-parents than partners. You keep hoping things will get better, but every conversation circles back to the same arguments.

You start to wonder:

  • Why don’t they get how much I’m carrying?
  • Why am I always the one trying?
  • Are we just too different now?

We don’t enter relationships thinking we’ll end up here — navigating silence, sarcasm, or shouting. But we also don’t get taught how to do relationships — especially when we’re raising kids, managing careers, and trying to keep it all together.

Here’s what no one tells you: Most relationship conflict isn’t about parenting styles, money, or who’s right. It’s about belief systems. Identity. Self-worth. And the emotional lenses that drive our reactions before we even know it’s happening.

This program doesn’t offer fluffy advice or “more date nights” as a solution. It helps you understand the psychology, beliefs, and emotional wiring that’s really behind your disconnect — so you can finally start changing the script. Whether you do it alone or together.

What Causes the Conflict?
(And Why It’s Not Just About Communication)

You’ve probably heard that communication is the key to a better relationship. But what if the way you see the problem is already distorted?

Every reaction starts with a split-second mental evaluation:

  • Is this good or bad?
  • What does it mean about me?
  • How should I respond to avoid pain or feel better?

That unconscious process is shaped by childhood beliefs, gendered expectations, past hurts, and survival wiring. It’s the same process your partner is going through — with their own conditioning.

No wonder it feels like you’re speaking different languages.

Here’s what’s actually causing the tension:

  • Clashing beliefs about what parenting "should" look like
  • Colliding definitions of love, respect, and responsibility
  • Emotional triggers rooted in identity, self-worth, and family-of-origin norms
  • The painful feeling of being unloved, unsupported, or unseen

And underneath it all? Two people who want the same thing — but feel stuck on how to get there.

👉 That’s where The Truce Program comes in.

Introducing the Truce Program

The Truce Program is a 6-week journey to understand the root causes of your relationship tension — and build a new way of relating based on alignment, mutual respect, and emotional connection.

This isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about pressing pause, unpacking the beliefs and patterns keeping you stuck, and co-creating real, lasting change — whether you do the program together or on your own.

You’ll learn to:

  • Understand your partner’s emotional wiring (and your own)
  • Recognise the hidden beliefs that trigger conflict
  • Rebuild safety, communication, and trust — even after years of parenting stress
  • Navigate gender differences with empathy (not resentment)
  • Replace blame and assumptions with understanding and alignment
  • Co-parent with a shared approach that reflects both of your values
  • Use a repeatable 5-step process (The Mind TRACK to Happiness) to navigate future challenges and conversations

If you’re doing this solo right now, that’s okay. Change often begins with one person — and this program gives you the tools to start shifting the dynamic either way..

What You’ll Learn
(Week-by-Week Breakdown) ↴

🧠 Week 1: Understanding the Conflict

In Week 1, you'll uncover what’s really behind recurring arguments — and it’s not the topic you’re fighting about.

You’ll learn about the brain’s evaluation process — how we interpret situations through the lens of past experiences, beliefs, and what we think is “right.” These fast, subconscious evaluations shape how we feel, react, and respond — often without us even realising it.

You’ll explore:

  • Why you and your partner interpret the same moment so differently
  • How early beliefs (from childhood, culture, or past relationships) fuel emotional reactions
  • Why we often personalise behaviour — making it mean something about our worth
  • Real-life examples of these patterns playing out in day-to-day family life

By the end of this week, you'll have a new lens for understanding your partner — and yourself — and start recognising the deeper forces driving your relationship stress.

💬 Week 2: Gender Differences & the Self-Worth Trap

In Week 2, you’ll explore how deeply ingrained gender roles and expectations shape your emotional needs — and how those unmet needs often fuel conflict without either partner realising it.

You’ll learn:

  • Why many men tie their worth to respect, productivity, and being “the provider”
  • Why many women define their worth through love, connection, and emotional harmony
  • How unmet emotional needs trigger reactivity, withdrawal, criticism, or shutdowns — especially during parenting stress
  • Why your partner’s reaction often has less to do with you, and more to do with their own story of worth

You’ll also uncover the classic mistakes couples make when trying to connect — like trying to fix instead of listen, or expecting space when your partner needs closeness — and how to navigate them with more understanding and less judgement.

By the end of this week, you’ll be able to recognise what you need, what they need, and how to break the “I hurt you because you hurt me” cycle — starting with empathy, not defence.

🔄 Week 3: Forgiveness, Habit vs Logic & Moving Forward

In Week 3, you’ll learn why knowing what to do isn’t always enough — and why old emotional habits can override your best intentions, especially when conflict is rooted in past pain.

You’ll explore:

  • How your brain defaults to protective patterns — even when you logically know better
  • Why we repeat the same arguments (even when we don’t want to)
  • How to let go of blame without letting go of your needs or boundaries
  • Why forgiveness is about emotional freedom — not condoning what happened

You’ll also begin shifting from the past to the present: understanding how your relationship got here, and what you can do to start changing it — even if you're doing this alone.

This week moves you from stuckness to momentum — showing you how to stop replaying past hurts and start stepping into solution-focused change.

🔧 Week 4: Preparing for Change

In Week 4, you’ll learn how to move from reactive to intentional — clarifying what you want from your relationship and how to ask for it in a way that builds trust instead of tension.

You’ll explore:

  • How to uncover the real issue underneath the recurring conflicts (it’s rarely just about housework, money, or screen time)
  • The difference between communicating to be “right” and communicating to create alignment
  • Why your needs (and your partner’s) are often tangled in deep self-worth beliefs — and how to untangle them with empathy

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Set realistic goals for change
  • Ask for what you need in a way that respects both of your values
  • Use simple, powerful strategies to start conversations that don’t spiral into arguments

This week gives you the tools to move beyond surface conflict and start creating the relationship you both want — even if you're initiating the change alone.

🤝 Week 5: The Art of Negotiation & Compromise

In Week 5, you’ll learn how to turn emotional insight into action — by negotiating and compromising in ways that feel fair, respectful, and sustainable for both of you.

You’ll explore:

  • The difference between compromise and negotiation — and why both matter
  • How to identify your needs, your partner’s needs, and what’s non-negotiable
  • When compromise builds connection — and when it leads to resentment
  • How to co-create new agreements that work in real family life (not just on paper)

You’ll also get a step-by-step process for navigating tricky conversations without blame, shutdowns, or one-sided decisions. This week is all about creating alignment — even when you see things differently — so you can move forward as partners, not opponents.

💡 Week 6: Love, Connection & The Mind TRACK to Happiness

In Week 6, you’ll learn how to pull everything together — using a 5-step process to keep your relationship on track when life, parenting, or stress throws you off course.

You’ll explore:

  • The Mind TRACK to Happiness — a practical roadmap to move from reaction to reflection to resolution
  • How to pause and reflect on what’s really driving the disagreement
  • How to align on parenting goals, even if you have different upbringings or beliefs
  • How to rebuild connection through understanding, not just action

You’ll also learn how to apply the TRACK process to your day-to-day parenting — so you can break reactive patterns, honour both your approaches, and raise your children with less conflict and more unity.

This is your reset button. A step-by-step process to come back to again and again — when things get tough, when patterns resurface, or when you simply want to stay connected to what matters most.

We weren’t on the same page about anything — especially parenting. The Truce Program helped me understand myself and my partner in a completely new way. Things have shifted so much since.

"I started this on my own because my husband wasn’t interested. But just doing it myself changed how I showed up — and slowly, so did he. We’re more united now than we’ve been in years."

Talia

"We didn’t realise how much of our conflict came from our belief systems, not the surface stuff. This helped us reset — and reconnect."

Hi, I’m Jackie Hal

Counsellor, parenting and relationship educator, and founder of the Parental Stress Centre.

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve helped thousands of parents and couples understand the root causes of emotional stress and disconnection — and taught them how to rebuild relationships from the inside out.

This program isn’t about blame. It’s about belief systems, emotional safety, and creating real change — even if you're the only one starting the work.

Whether you do this together or solo, I’ll walk you step-by-step through the exact process I’ve used to help couples reconnect, communicate, and parent as a team again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to do this together as a couple?

Not at all. Many people complete the program on their own. You’ll learn strategies that shift how you show up — and often, that alone begins to change the relationship dynamic.

Is the program live or self-paced?

The program is 100% self-paced and fully online. You can start any time and revisit the material whenever you need.

Is this only for parents?

It’s designed especially for couples raising children, but the emotional and communication tools apply to any intimate relationship.

What if our issues are really serious?

This program is not suitable for relationships involving abuse or coercive control. In those cases, we recommend seeking one-on-one support from a qualified professional.

What if I fall behind?

No stress. You have lifetime access. Move through it at your own pace — the tools will be here when you're ready.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle of parenting pressure, miscommunication, and resentment.

You can learn to speak each other’s language again. You can align on how you raise your kids without power struggles or one-sided compromises. You can rebuild emotional safety and respect.

You can fall back in love with your life — and with each other.

Whether you’re doing this together, or taking the first step on your own — this program will guide you.

It starts with one conversation.
One shift.
One truce.
