Represents True North, the client’s ultimate goal or ideal outcome. It’s the guiding principle they can return to when things get chaotic. This direction grounds the work and keeps decision-making aligned with long-term values rather than short-term emotional reactions.

Symbolizes New Beginnings and the first light of day. It’s the phase where clients gain clarity, learn strategies, and start to take initial steps toward control.

The place of Stability and Sustenance. In this phase, clients consolidate progress, reinforce boundaries, and build the resilience needed to maintain change in the face of ongoing challenges.

Signifies Reflection and Closure, like the setting sun. It’s about evaluating what’s been learned, integrating those lessons into daily life, and stepping into a future where the high-conflict person no longer dominates their emotional landscape.
