Temporarily removing yourself from the
situation allows your body to return to normal,
provides a cooling-down time, and allows your
brain to return to its normal state where you
can reason and think better. Using this time
out technique will also prevent you or your
partner from saying unfair or hurtful things in
the heat of battle.
