Laura shares her pride in completing a triathlon and Zach chimes in with his marathon experiences. The discussion transitions into deeper relationship topics, focusing on how to apologize effectively and, just as importantly, how to receive an apology. Zach emphasizes that successful relationships are not just about knowing how to apologize, but also about knowing how to accept a partner's apology. They explore common pitfalls in apologizing, such as using the word “but,” and highlight how defensiveness can block genuine repair efforts. The hosts reference the work of Harriet Lerner and her book Why Won't You Apologize? to guide their discussion on the do's and don'ts of apologizing. Key points include avoiding justification in apologies, focusing on one's own actions, and not using an apology to manipulate or silence a partner's feelings. They conclude with reflections on the importance of patience and openness, particularly when building trust and navigating long-term emotional injuries. Episode Highlights: How to Apologize Effectively: Laura breaks down the steps to making a meaningful apology, emphasizing the importance of owning your actions and avoiding justifications that can diminish the apology's impact. Receiving an Apology: Zach explains how receiving an apology with gratitude is a crucial part of repair, allowing space for ongoing healing even if the hurt is not immediately resolved. Avoiding the “But” in Apologies: Laura highlights how using “but” in an apology can negate the acknowledgment of harm and frustrate repair attempts. Building Trust Through Repeated Repairs: The discussion emphasizes that long-term healing in relationships is only possible through repeated, genuine efforts to repair and demonstrate change.

IntroductionIn this episode, we delve into the topic of apologizing effectively. We'll reference key insights from "The 5 Love Languages for Men" by Gary Chapman and outline the structure of our discussion, covering the essential points from the book, additional insights, and personal anecdotes.Discussion PointsWe begin with an overview of the importance of apologies in relationships, highlighting their role in maintaining and repairing connections. We also mention Brene Brown's podcast "Unlocking Us" and Dr. Harriet Lerner's book "Why Won't You Apologize?" as valuable resources for understanding the nuances of apologizing.We discuss the idea that "The man who apologizes for everything and the man who apologizes for nothing share the same weakness." This highlights the need for balance in offering apologies and avoiding extremes.Next, we introduce the concept of the five apology languages: expressing regret, accepting responsibility, making restitution, genuine repentance, and requesting forgiveness.We then provide a detailed breakdown of each apology language. Expressing Regret emphasizes the importance of specificity, such as the difference between saying "I'm sorry" and just "Sorry." Accepting Responsibility focuses on acknowledging one's wrong actions and understanding the role of intent versus impact. We provide example apologies to illustrate these points. Making Restitution involves offering to make amends, like asking, "What can I do to make it right?" Genuine Repentance shows a commitment to change by developing systems to avoid repeating mistakes. Requesting Forgiveness involves asking for forgiveness as a way to heal relationships, for example, "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."Charles and Dan share personal experiences with apologies, discussing common mistakes and how to avoid them. They stress the importance of aligning apologies with personal values to ensure sincerity.Key TakeawaysThe key takeaways from this discussion are that sincerity in apologies is crucial and understanding and utilizing apology languages can significantly strengthen relationships. Apologies should address not only the act but also the impact on the other person.ConclusionWe conclude by recapping the importance of effective apologies and encouraging listeners to take the "Five Apology Languages" quiz to better understand their own and their partners' apology preferences. Finally, we tease the topic for the next episode, leaving listeners with something to look forward to.Support the Show.

What do we do with our anger? How do we handle others' anger? Working with strong emotions is a key part of family life and a spiritual path. In this episode, Corinne Cayce, MA ACC, and Dr. Arlene Dijamco weave together material in the Edgar Cayce readings and the work of psychologist Dr. Harriet Lerner's seminal work on anger. They discuss the effects of anger on the physical body, our minds and souls, and unpack Dr. Lerner's step-by-step process for how to dance skillfully with anger as it arises.  

Introduction:Dan and Charles kick off the episode with a casual chat about recent travels and upcoming events, including Podcast Movement in DC and Tony Robbins in Newark.Discussion Highlights1. Five Love Languages for MenThe episode focuses on chapter seven of the book "The 5 Love Languages for Men." Dan and Charles discuss their primary love languages, discovered through a $35 test on the book's website. They emphasize the benefits of taking the test to understand both your and your partner's love languages.2. Words of AffirmationCharles's primary love language is words of affirmation. Dan shares how acts of service often lead to receiving words of affirmation or quality time, aligning with his primary love language. They both highlight the importance of understanding how different love languages interact.3. Acts of Service and Quality TimeActs of service can be a tool to receive love in other forms, like words of affirmation or quality time. Dan mentions how expressing love through acts of service impacts his relationships.4. Physical TouchPhysical touch is often misunderstood by men as purely sexual. The hosts differentiate between emotional and non-sexual physical touch and discuss its importance in building emotional connections.5. Emotional Needs and StereotypesThey challenge the stereotype that men are less emotional. The discussion covers how societal expectations allow men to express emotions only occasionally and often in unhealthy ways.6. Evolutionary PerspectivesDan shares an interesting theory linking the love language of quality time to human evolutionary history. They discuss how quality time might have evolved as a crucial aspect of survival and child-rearing.7. Apologizing EffectivelyA teaser for an upcoming discussion on effective apologizing, drawing insights from Dr. Harriet Lerner's book "Why Won't You Apologize?". The importance of sincere apologies in maintaining healthy relationships.8. Improv and StorytellingCharles discusses his interest in taking an improv class to enhance storytelling skills.

his episode was originally released on August 25th, 2018. “Dear Sugars, I'm a serial codependent. I've married and had children with two addicts,” begins a letter signed by “Mommy Messed Up.” Over the years, her second husband began to withdraw and stash money inside of old bottles. Now Mommy Messed Up is ready to end their toxic relationship. The only problem is she'll have to disrupt her children's lives for a second time. “I'm fine with breaking my own heart,” she writes. “But how do I break my boys' hearts?” In this second part of our series on moving on, the Sugars discuss how we can release ourselves from our past mistakes. Dr. Harriet Lerner drops in to answer a second letter from a woman who is haunted by her abortion, a decision she laments now that she's experiencing early menopause. Like Mommy Messed Up, she is ruled by her regret. “We have to beware of the stories that we tell about ourselves because we become them,” Dr. Lerner advises. “And a story like the one she's constructed is so narrow and fixed that it's going to edge out all other stories about her past and her present and her future possibilities.” Dr. Lerner is a leading voice on the psychology of women and family relationships. She's the author of 12 books including The New York Times best seller “The Dance of Anger” and most recently, “Why Won't You Apologize? Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts.”https://www.harrietlerner.com/interviews-articles

Episode 2180: Mark Manson illuminates the negative dynamics of toxic relationships in his enlightening piece. He advises taking personal responsibility instead of projecting your emotional state onto your partner, highlighting the dangers of possessive jealousy, and the folly of using material gifts as solutions to deeper relational issues. His insights encourage readers to cultivate healthier, more self-aware relationships. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/toxic-relationship-signs Quotes to ponder: "When you set a precedent that your partner is responsible for how you feel at all times, it can easily lead to a codependent relationship." "Rather than being loved enough, it's actually just controlling and manipulative." "Trust was broken? Talk about what it will take to rebuild it. Communicate!"

However, please note that opinions on books can vary depending on individual preferences and needs, so it may be helpful to read reviews or a summary to determine if it aligns with your interests and goals.Chapter 3 Key Points of the The Dance of Anger book"The Dance of Anger" by Harriet Lerner is a self-help book that aims to address the often destructive ways in which women express their anger. Lerner, a psychologist and feminist, focuses on empowering women to navigate their anger in a healthy and productive way.The book begins by acknowledging the cultural and societal pressure that discourages women from expressing anger. Lerner argues that women are often conditioned to prioritize the needs and feelings of others, leading to their own anger being invalidated or suppressed. She emphasizes the importance of asserting oneself and embracing anger as a natural emotion.Lerner introduces the concept of the "dance of anger," a metaphor for the patterns of escalating and damaging interactions that can occur when anger is not effectively expressed. She explores various ways in which women commonly respond to anger, such as by becoming passive-aggressive, withdrawing, or engaging in aggressive behaviors.By examining these responses, Lerner encourages women to identify their own patterns and understand the underlying emotions and motivations behind them. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-acceptance as the first steps towards healthier anger expression.The author also provides practical strategies and techniques to help women both change their internal responses to anger and deal with external conflicts. She promotes assertiveness as a key tool for expressing anger in a more constructive manner, while also setting and maintaining healthy boundaries.Lerner stresses the importance of taking responsibility for one's own feelings and actions, rather than blaming others. She encourages women to communicate their needs and desires more effectively, while also respecting the boundaries and emotions of others.Furthermore, Lerner addresses the gendered dynamics of anger and relationships, examining how societal expectations impact the ways in which women express anger and interact with others. She encourages women to challenge these societal expectations and work towards creating healthier and more equitable relationships.Overall, "The Dance of Anger" offers insights and practical advice for women who struggle with effectively expressing their anger. By acknowledging the societal constraints that suppress women's anger, Lerner empowers readers to embrace their emotions and develop healthier ways of navigating conflicts and relationships.Chapter 4 the The Dance of Anger book Author Bio The author of the book "The Dance of Anger" is...

What are healthy ways to handle conflict? In growing up in an alcoholic and/or dysfunctional family, we might have learned lots of unhealthy ways to handle conflict, but not healthy ones. Do you avoid conflict? Become an aggressor during one? Or play both sides against each other? To exhibit healthy behaviors in resolving conflict, keep these skills in mind: Use "I" statements and not "you" ("You're wrong, you're bad, etc.") Take stock of your own responsibility and accountability: Did you do anything wrong? If so, admit it, and make amends. Have empathy for the other person. Be an active listener. If necessary, ask for time to regroup: Do you need a timeout so that you can be better open to talking? Set boundaries when necessary. Resources: Read The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner. Need help?

At some point, the you-know-what is going to hit the fan.And it happened to me the other morning when I was driving my husband to his colonoscopy.This is the first episode without a video version because I recorded it from my iPhone after dropping my husband off at the hospital.I promised to take you into my life; I just didn't expect it to be as a stressful situation was unfolding in real time.When it comes to dealing with stress, best-selling psychotherapist and researcher Harriet Lerner says that being an underfunctioner or an overfunctioner is your patterned response to dealing with the alarm in your body.It probably doesn't surprise you that I am what researchers call an "Overfunctioner." My husband, Chris, is an "Underfunctioner," especially on those days when he's on the way to a medical procedure.And learning the way YOU react to stress is a game-changer for your relationships.An overfunctioner like me allows the alarm in my body to take over in stressful situations, becoming triggered and anxious.And the only way to calm the alarm is to bark orders, manage the phone calls, organize the activities, make the appointments, plan the meals, and take on all the responsibilities because it gives me a sense of control.It may be my superpower, but it also makes me a royal pain in the a$$ and takes away the chance for Chris to feel empowered.The way Chris deals with stress is more chill and very methodical, which frustrates the hell out of me.Listen today as we work through these two different ways of dealing with a stressful family situation so that you can understand your own approach better and, more importantly, how to ask for what you need from others before you drive them nuts.And if you're ready to take the next right step to live your life with more confidence and no regrets, this is your time.Sign up for my exclusive signature course, Launch with Mel Robbins.

In this episode is a juicy one! We discuss codependency while traveling through ADDICTION, RESENTMENT, BOUNDARIES and whether we should block someone.  Vanessa Bennet is the author of IT'S NOT ME IT'S YOU  which she narrates the audio version with her life partner and co-author John Kim also known as the angry therapist on instagram. Whatever version of the book you choose please make sure to do the exercises at the end of each chapter because they will create shifts and help you get insight on your inner life. This book did that for me so I highky recommend it.  Vanessa Benett also recommends the work of Harriet Lerner which is now on my must read list. Some of her most popular titles are THE DANCE OF CONNECTION and WHY WON'T YOU APOLOGIZE.  We also discuss Melody Beattie's book, an OG of codependecy work, CODEPENDENT NO MORE. This book was my first experience exploring my inner codependency and it's definitely worth reading.  Here you can find the 12 step programs Vanessa Bennett recommends in this episode: AL-ANON : For help and support of those dealing with family members in active addiction CoDA: Codependent Anonymous  Another great support group: Adult Children: Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families  You can find Vanessa Bennett Here: TIKTOK INSTAGRAM CHEAPER THAN THERAPY PODCAST

Today Karen and KP examine the emotion of Anger. We explore it's value, why so many of us are afraid of it and how it can both inform and guide us in ways that can bring value. Understanding the root of our relationship with anger informs our conflict oriented, conflict resistant or conflict neutral approach to disagreements. The book, "Dance Of Anger" by Dr. Harriet Lerner describes anger as "a signal & one worth listening to". Dr. Learner wrote this book as an invitation to give ourselves permission to open to the lessons of our own anger and how we choose to respond to it.

In this second part of our series on moving on, the Sugars discuss how we can release ourselves from our past mistakes. Dr. Harriet Lerner drops in to answer a letter from a woman who calls herself a "serial codependent," as well as a woman who is haunted by her abortion. This episode was originally published on August 25th, 2018.

Many people believe that apologizing is a sign of weakness and intentionally do not use the words, "I'm sorry". It is likely that someone comes to mind for us all in our personal and/or professional lives that fits this category. Apologizing, in actuality, takes a great deal of strength and self-worth. Join us for part two of our interview with NYT best selling author and relationship expert, Dr. Harriet Lerner, where she explains what is takes for us to apologize and take accountability for things we have done that unintentionally hurt others. Chris and Ellie discuss the following with Dr. Harriet Lerner: Why some people won't or can't say, "I'm sorry" What it takes to offer a sincere apology  The importance of striking while the iron is....cold Connect with us at growfurtherpodcast@gmail.comWant to learn more from and/or about Harriet?https://www.harrietlerner.com

Fear comes in at the strangest times and kicks into high gear when we're least expecting it, in a space of creativity, and challenging ourselves to grow. Experiencing fear doesn't have to be negative. In today's episode I'm cracking open the book of vulnerability and sharing not only incredible resources from people like Brene Brown and Liz Gilbert, I'm also sharing my personal experiences with fear.  Taking steps towards a bigger version of you requires that fear be present. Every time I step into the unknown and do the things that scare me most, like starting this podcast, I choose to use my fear as my compass, which lets me know I am on the right track, expanding and growing.  Tools & Reframes to Help You Overcome Fear  Having the right tools when you need them is key to managing healthy emotional responses. The first tool comes from Elizabeth Gilbert and at the end of this episode we're going to put this tool into practice right away. In her book, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, Liz writes a letter to fear. This is about creating space for fear, acknowledging it, not pushing it away, not ignoring it, but welcoming it along for the ride. There's power in acknowledging it and allowing it to have a voice, while knowing you will not allow it to make decisions or drive the vehicle. I have made this letter to fear my mantra for life.   In Brene Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart, we're reminded that fear is a natural protective response and to our brains, physical and emotional pain all feel the same way. Practice recognizing what you're afraid of and choose to be brave anyway.  Another helpful tool to deal with fear and learning about emotional suppression is Susan David's book Emotional Agility. So many of us try to ignore our fear, and in reality, by avoiding and suppressing our fears, we make them bigger and stronger in time. We end up being controlled by fear rather than having control over it. Give yourself permission to feel the fear without suppressing it.  “Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story” -Cheryl Strayed  The last tool I'll share here is from Marie Forleo's simple test to decipher between fear and intuition. When we're faced with opportunity, it's sometimes difficult to know if you're wanting to say no because fear is kicking in or if you're saying no because your gut is saying this isn't right for you. Close your eyes and settle down, then ask yourself with total awareness to how your body responds. Does it feel expansive, light and joyful or is it more dread, despair and a heaviness there?  “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous.” -Marianne Williamson   This Week's Tool to Help You With Fear Comes from Elizabeth Gilbert:  We are going to write a letter from our fear.  Step 1: Write your name, for example, Dear Meg this is your fear and I want you to know….  Allow your fear to write a letter to you   Ask your fear what you are terrified about and listen with respect  Identify the two or three things at the root of your fear  Ask your fear what it wants, what it doesn't want and why it's holding you back from what your creativity  Step 2: Read the letter with an open mind and open heart  Step 3: Write a letter back to your fear with love, kindness, and gratitude for its thoughts and contributions     Resources from this episode:  Atlas of the Heart Book Study: https://www.meghanthomas.com/atlas-of-the-heart   Atlas of the Heart by Brene Brown: https://amzn.to/3e3JI8V   Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert: https://amzn.to/3qhGjGJ    Fear and Other Uninvited Guests by Harriet Lerner:  https://amzn.to/3RGo7SP   Bittersweet by Susan Cain: https://amzn.to/3Txgr72   Emotional Agility by Susan David: https://amzn.to/3R5S6na   Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're someone that suffers from anxiety you know what that physical tension can feel like. You can feel debilitated in social situations or feel totally restless depending on how severe the level of your anxiety. Today we're exploring 4 emotions connected with anxiety and how you can reframe your thoughts to gain more control around these emotions to lower your levels of anxiety. Emotional Coping Mechanisms Avoidance and worry are two ways we attempt to cope with anxiety, but that ultimately makes anxiety worse. In this episode I'm going to share Brené Brown's definitions from her book, Atlas of the Heart, which is linked below and highly recommended. Words are important and the meaning we assign to them makes a world of difference to how we can react and respond to them. Avoidance Atlas of the Heart Definition: not showing up and often spending a lot of energy zigzagging around and away from that thing that feels like it's consuming us. A healthy way to deal with and process our emotions doesn't come naturally to many of us, myself included. It's easy to fall into the habit of avoiding emotions. We avoid feeling them and we avoid confronting or digging for the reason we even default to avoidant behaviors. Avoidance is strongly connected to anxiety and though we feel less vulnerable in the short-term, we are never less afraid in the long run. “Avoidance is the best short-term strategy to escape conflict, and the best long-term strategy to ensure suffering.” -Brendon Burchard Worry Atlas of the Heart Definition: a chain of negative thoughts about bad things that might happen in the future. Although we like to think and say we can't help but worry, the truth is worry can be changed and it is in fact optional. When we try to suppress our worry we make things worse. The trick is that we have to address worry in a way that gets to the root cause. Included at the end of these show notes are journaling prompts to help you get to the root cause of worry. Aside from journaling your way to the root cause, doing things to interrupt your worries like breathing, meditating, or moving your body has proven to be extremely helpful. Talking about it with someone you trust can be another great way to handle worry. One of the key ideas to keep in mind with worry is that it's about the future and not about being present. So anything that will return you to the present moment is going to minimize worry and lower your anxiety. Dread Atlas of the Heart Definition: occurs frequently in response to high-probability negative events; its magnitude increases as the dreaded event draws nearer. Like worry, feeling dread is also about anticipating future events. It's about the negative anticipation that increases your level of anxiety and creates a more unpleasant experience. The more anticipation we have around a negative event the greater our anxiety. Excitement Atlas of the Heart Definition: an energized state of enthusiasm leading up to or during an enjoyable activity. However it doesn't always feel great. Excitement is related to anxiety because the bodily sensation is practically identical. They feel the same way, and the only variance is in how we label and define the event or situation. When there is more positivity associated with the thing, we label it exciting. When there is more negativity associated with the thing we call it anxiety. In this episode I share an Emotion Recipe that can change the way you process and assign your emotions, and it starts with identifying the sensation and then labeling it.

-What do anger, resentment, and rage look like in codependents? -How does our guilt, shame, and embarrassment about our anger help us maintain our unhealthy relationships? -Why we need to stop asking questions like "What's the point of being angry?" and instead get curious about our anger as a signal that something is amiss! Welcome to episode 88! This week, I'm taking a deep dive into ANGER, RESENTMENT, and CODEPENDENT RAGE. But Marissa, if I'm pleasing, placating, and problem-solving for others all the time, how can I be angry? Buckle up, buttercup: when we spend all our time dedicating ourselves to others and neglecting our thoughts, feelings, and needs, resentment is guaranteed to build. We will be discussing resentment and rage with the help of Dr. Harriet Lerner, PhD through her work The Dance of Anger.. I'll describe observations Dr. Lerner has made, connect them to our codependency, and then share an anecdote of my own seething resentment that turned into rage to help you reflect on this topic in your own life. It's a must-listen!  Thanks for your support, girl!

If women repress and suppress their anger, they stay in place. Women learn to fear their anger for two reasons: 1) it brings about the disapproval of others and 2) it necessitates change. I then share 2-ish anecdotes from when I 1) got angry at my dad and 2) raged at my dad.  In her book, Dr. Lerner encourages the reader to reflect on the following 7 questions: What am I really angry about? What is the problem, and whose problem is it? How can I sort out who is responsible for hat? How can I learn to express my anger in a way that will not leave me feeling helpless and powerless? When I'm angry, how can I clearly communicate my position without becoming defensive or attacking? What risks and losses might I face if I become clearer and more assertive? If getting angry is not working for me, what can I do differently?  We conclude with me answering the questions in the frame of mind I was in post-rage and ways I could have addressed problems with my dad back then.

This emotion is a biggie. Did you know that 1/3 of all adults in the US will be affected by an anxiety disorder in their lifetime with fewer than half seeking treatment? I have a personal relationship with anxiety. Before I share my story, let's define what we're discussing. Anxiety: An emotion characterized by feelings of tension, and worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. It's worth mentioning that when we talk about emotions there are traits and states. When you hear the difference, it will help you identify and work through anxiety in your life. There's also another type of anxiety referred to as Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is defined as a condition of excessive worry about everyday issues and situations. It lasts longer than 6 months and in addition to feeling worried you may also feel restlessness, fatigue, trouble concentrating, irritability, increased muscle tension and trouble sleeping. There's also something called functional anxiety. That's the anxiety that pushes us to study for the test or prepare for a big meeting. Once we do the thing (prepare, study) the anxiety goes away, having helped us do what needed to be done in the moment. There is help. I've dealt with anxiety for much of my life. Psychotherapy for one, and other strategies can help us recognize the cause of anxiety so we can take appropriate steps to remedy the situation. Hear how I tell the difference between my internal anxiety and the intuitive messages that I also receive. My story is likely much different than yours, but it will help you understand what to do in the moment. Anxiety needs to be understood and respected. We need to understand why it's showing up. What do we need to do and what do we need to learn?  What can we do to calm ourselves? 1.   Be slow to respond and quick to think. Do you have the info you need to respond? 2.   Stay mindful of the effect being calm has for you and those around you. Calm is contagious! 3.   Take a breath. Slow down, stay aware, name what you are feeling first. I share my personal experience about my own medication use. It's a personal choice of course, but I knew I needed to get my bearings and the medication helped. Once I had other tools and was physically healthier, I was able to stop the medication. Anxiety can lead to panic attacks. IYKYK. I've only had one and it was terrifying. There were no rational thoughts and I felt like my body and my mind were completely taken over. Is your experience like mine? What helped you? Yoga and meditation work for me. Hear the brain science on this as well. It'll give you another reason to give yoga a try. Be sure to try the box breathing technique. You can come back to this episode any time you need to gain calm and focus.

Los boletos para mi conferencia Alinear tu Ser con tu hacer (en versión presencial y virtual) ya están a la venta aqui, será un día especial para vibrar en colectivo, nos vemos el 11 de junio :) Claudia Kulish, orientadora de padres y especialista en vínculo, es una GENIA y me trae de la mano desde que estoy criando a 2 hermanitos. Todo mi camino se los cuento en el episodio 73. En este episodio nos enfocamos en cómo salirte de la posición de juez y ser más un mediador de la relación de tus hijos. Consejos de Claudia, avalados por sus hijas: “Mamá nos deja pelearnos”. A los conflictos se les enfrenta con compasión y escucha. Los cuidadores primarios nos construimos como mediadores EN el conflicto. “Mamá nos cree” “Mamá separa lo que causó el conflicto de la persona” “Mamá nos pide y pregunta nuestros puntos de vista y traduce por nosotras” No obligues a pedir disculpas, mejor dar seguimiento para asegurarse que sí pase, pero cuando estén list@s. Muchos cuidadores simplemente queremos evitar el conflicto pero recuerda que: "In the struggle is the essence of life" Cita de Edith Eger en The Choice / La bailarina de Auschwitz (en español).

Hello So Deep Peeps!  Welcome to That's So Deep.  This is the podcast where we try to root out loneliness one conversation at a time. Today we are talking about Fake Apologies vs. True Apologies: What's the Difference? Some deep things we cover:Fake Apologies: Conditional apologies, blanket apologies, silencing apologies…we've heard them all and done them all.True Apologies (according to Dr. Harriet Lerner): Do not include the word "but". Keep the focus on your actions and not on the other person's responseDon't overdo. Don't get caught up in who's more to blame or who is right or wrong. Do not serve to silence someone. Apologies are the Beginning of Conversations…not the End.Apologizing to Your Children Builds Connection.Take-aways:Separate an Apology from Raising an Issue: If you're going to raise an issue, then raise an issue.  That's okay.  If you are going to apologize, then apologize and mean it.  Separate the two.  These are two different conversations.Apologize When You Feel Remorse and Make it Specific: This is where “fake it ‘till  you make it” is not a great plan.  If you don't feel remorse then you have some work to do before you apologize.  Apologies are a Gift to the Other Person and to Yourself:  When you give a gift, you need to do some work to prepare it.  Don't just throw it in a used grocery bag and toss it to the other person.  Take the time to do the emotional work necessary to really prepare the gift for yourself and for the other party.  Your relationship will be better for it.We want to have a conversation with you!There are many ways to connect with us.  Here are some of them:1.

Two simple words that can be so difficult to say… I'm sorry.   If you value your relationships, you need to be able to say these words and receive them too.   In this episode I talk about what makes a good, sincere, heartfelt apology and what makes for a bad one.  I also share what can happen over time if apologies are never given.   Follow me on Instagram: @Colleen_Odegaard   Website: www.ColleenOdegaard.com   Email me: Colleen@WakeUptoYourLife.net   Dr. Harriet Lerner's book: Why Won't You Apologize?

Dr. Harriet Lerner's work has transformed my work and my life. She's a renowned psychologist and bestselling author who has been studying apologies — and why some people won't give them — for more than two decades. In Part 2 of our two-part series, we share from a course together on her groundbreaking book Why Won't You Apologize?: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts. We dig into the “mischief of defensiveness,” the power of listening, and the secret life of the non-apologizer. We also take on one helluva role play where you get to hear me get schooled and learn a lot and get schooled again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This is the first episode of two-part special based on a course that Dr. Harriet Lerner and I did together on her groundbreaking book Why Won't You Apologize?: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts. It's an authentic, hard conversation about making mistakes, healing hurts, and being brave. Harriet is a friend, mentor, and teacher. Her work has shaped my career and made my life better. During a time of deep uncertainty and anxiety — when many of us have struggled to be our best selves all of the time — apologizing has never been more important. Learn more about your ad choices.
