Six stages of identity development
Pre-Awareness
Fatherhood as abstract concept — no active engagement with paternal identity
Recognition
Awareness that fatherhood changes identity — beginning to notice the gap
Disruption
Old identity frameworks no longer work — active discomfort and searching
Exploration
Trying new ways of being present — experimenting with activation behaviours
Integration
Father identity becoming coherent — activation behaviours feel natural
Activation
Fully activated relational presence — father identity integrated into all domains
Gottman Research

The Four Horsemen Check

The Four Horsemen & Their Antidotes
Criticism
Attacking character rather than addressing specific behaviour — antidote: Gentle Start-Up
Contempt
Eye-rolling, mockery, superiority — the strongest predictor of breakdown — antidote: Appreciation
Defensiveness
Counter-attacking or making excuses instead of hearing your partner — antidote: Accepting Responsibility
Stonewalling
Shutting down and withdrawing from conflict — antidote: Physiological Self-Soothing
