Break the pattern. Together.

You didn’t fall in love with someone who would hurt you. But somewhere along the way, the same fight keeps happening — the same distance, the same anger, the same wall. Dr. Mark Waller’s Lion & Unicorn framework reveals exactly why this happens, and gives you both a way out.

The Lion

Pushes forward. Gets loud. Seeks resolution through confrontation. Feels abandoned when their partner withdraws.

The Unicorn

Pulls back. Goes quiet. Seeks peace through distance. Feels overwhelmed when their partner pursues.

When a Lion and a Unicorn fall in love, they complete each other. When they fight, they destroy each other — in the same way, every time. This is the pattern. And it can be broken.
