The Word After “Sorry” Makes or Breaks Your Apology
Saying “I’m sorry” can be one of the most vulnerable, courageous things you do in a relationship. Too many apologies fall flat because of the word that came next.
Penitence Without Pardon
The healing work of forgiveness is blocked when the injured partner refuses to let the offender off the hook.
Selfish Apologies
Forgiveness is hindered when an apology is offered to provide relief for the offender rather than the one who was hurt.
