When relationships feel strained, distant, or just a little “off,” we often think we need to fix something. But sometimes, the most powerful shift comes from remembering we’re valued - tapping into a moment where love or appreciation was clearly felt.

This short guided meditation helps you reconnect with a meaningful relationship by revisiting a time when someone showed you that you mattered. Rooted in research on how recalling specific prosocial memories can reduce defensiveness and foster emotional repair, this practice supports healing not by doing more- but by feeling more.

Whether you're navigating conflict or simply feeling disconnected, this practice is here to remind you of the emotional truth that love doesn’t vanish - it sometimes just needs remembering.
