The Take-Charge Routine

What to do when your partner has lost their rhythm

techniquesessential

When to Use It

Use this routine when your partner: says 'I can't do this,' has lost their rhythm, is in transition, or you see them starting to slip into panic. This is your go-to move when nothing else is working.

The Steps

Why It Works

The Take-Charge Routine works because it replaces chaos with structure. Instead of reacting to pain, your partner follows a simple, repeatable pattern. You provide the rhythm when your partner cannot find it. One contraction at a time.
