What if the biggest factor shaping your conversations, relationships, and workplace culture is not just the people involved-but the space created between them?
In Reset the Space-Between, Dr. Jonathan Thorp introduces a practical and deeply human framework for improving connection, communication, and psychological safety in everyday life. Drawing from dialogue-based relational practices, organizational leadership, and interpersonal science, the book explores how safety, understanding, connection, and trust are formed moment by moment inside the "Space-Between" people share with one another.
Rather than treating conflict and communication breakdowns as purely individual problems, Reset the Space-Between offers readers a new way to understand relationships as dynamic systems that can be strengthened, repaired, and reshaped over time. And importantly, the book reminds readers that meaningful relational change does not require perfection-only a willingness to notice, practice, repair, and remain engaged in the process.
At the center of the book are four practical relational tools:
- Sharing Affirmation
- Zeroing Negativity
- Expanding Awareness
- Structuring Dialogue
Through dozens of relatable stories, real-world examples, reflective insights, and practical exercises, readers learn how to apply these tools in marriages, families, friendships, leadership, teamwork, and difficult conversations.
Warm, conversational, and immediately practical, Reset the Space-Between is designed to function not just as a book to read, but as a field guide for building healthier, safer, and more connected relationships-one interaction at a time.
