They help partners talk about what felt good, what felt missed, what needs repair, what each person is carrying, and what small next step would make the relationship feel warmer. Swooni is not therapy and does not replace professional help. If a relationship feels unsafe, abusive, or in crisis, reach out to qualified local support or emergency services.
