Has someone ever apologized to you and it didn't land?
Maybe it didn't feel compassionate and you were left hurt and resentment built up as a result? You're not alone!
A lot of us have been socialized to throw "sorry" around to appease the other person or to avoid conflict. However, apologies should center the person we've harmed with deep reflection on the impact of how we've hurt them. Apologizing in the language of the person we've hurt, can help in rebuilding trust in a heartfelt way to repair harm.
This episode takes a deep dive into to the framework of the Five Apology Languages adapted from Jennifer Thomas and Gary Chapman (creator of the 5 Love Languages):
Expressing Regret
Accepting Responsibility
Making it right
Plan for change
Requesting Forgiveness
Jewel The Gem brings breaks it all down with examples + personal experiences with apologies & forgiveness.
