Apologising doesn’t mean you’re wrong

When we hurt others, we feel hurt too!

Couples/marital/family therapy rests on the premise that relationships heal when the relationship itself becomes centre stage.

In my work with couples and families I often aim to help my clients train their minds to chose their words and behaviours on the basis of desired relationship outcomes.

I often ask, “Is what was just said and done in line with your relationship goals?”

Repair often starts with an apology. If something wrong has been said and done then it’s best to apologise with sincerity.
