In this episode, we delve into why some apologies fail and how to truly repair trust in relationships when 'I'm sorry' isn't enough. We explore the necessity of emotional validation and changed behavior to rebuild trust. Key points include understanding why a rushed or empathy-lacking apology falls flat, the importance of ownership and validation, and the significance of demonstrating change. Practical tips are provided for both giving and receiving effective apologies, highlighting three crucial elements: ownership, validation, and change. Additionally, we discuss actions to take when an apology from your partner is missing or insufficient. 00:00 Introduction: The Problem with Apologies 00:48 Why Basic Apologies Fail 05:52 The Three Elements of Real Repair 12:31 When You Need an Apology 14:08 Conclusion: Rebuilding Trust Over Time
