Comments on: Authentic Apology: Learning to give and receive when you say you’re sorry https://brassballstenderheart.com/authentic-apology-learning-give-receive-say-youre-sorry/ Relationship Coaching for Men Sat, 11 Sep 2021 19:01:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Rachel Whalley https://brassballstenderheart.com/authentic-apology-learning-give-receive-say-youre-sorry/#comment-4 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:09:32 +0000 http://www.brassballstenderheart.com/?p=91#comment-4 Love it. I agree especially about the apologies that are intended to get the apologizer off the hook. I call this “Self-Flagellation” and it’s one of the six ways women avoid conflict ineffectively (men, too, obviously).

I appreciate your laying out the process of making authentic apologies. It’s so important to be able to truly hold our wrongdoing, rather than try to shake it off without allowing and accepting what happened.

How lovely to just be human – to not be ashamed of our learning curve or our growth or our patterns.
We have so many ideas about how we should be that we develop an aversion to how we are – i.e, human.
Beautiful, insightful piece.
