The Repair Style · Verbal + thorough
The Talker
You want to talk it through fully — every layer, every angle, every interpretation. Anything less feels unfinished.

What this type means
The Talker resets via extended verbal processing — talking the whole thing through until both parties feel complete. Powerful with partners who can match the bandwidth; exhausting for partners who can't.
In relationships
You're thorough — and exhausting to some partners. The conversations you find clarifying can feel relentless to people who process by stepping away.
Watch for
Talking past the resolution point keeps reopening the wound. Watch the moment when the partner has actually reached "done" and you keep going.
The growth edge
Develop a check-in question: "Is there more to say, or are we done?" — and actually accept "done" as an answer. The over-processor can ruin the very repair they're trying to make.
