Naming the Pain & the Pattern 

 

Insight does not automatically produce regulation.

Many adults understand their patterns yet continue to react under relational stress.

PRIM™ was created to help bridge that gap.

It is a structured sequence:

Pause™ — Interrupt escalation
Remember — Clarify the activated attachment need
Integrate — Practice secure behavioral responses
Maintain — Reinforce stability through repetition

This is attachment-informed regulation in real time.
