Is there any benefit to conflict?

Why is it important to be able to apologise in relationships?

Apologising can be really hard for various reasons:

👉🏼 we may feel like we are losing power in the relationship

👉🏼 it may feel like we are taking full responsibility for a conflict with a chance of nothing coming from the other party

Apologising can be very helpful for healthy conflict resolution and re-building trust.

If done well and with sincerity, apologies can help us:

🔗 show our desire to repair a rupture in our relationship

🔗 reduce the intensity of negative emotions

🔗 let others know that you care about them, their feelings and your relationship with them

With the help of a skilled therapist, one can learn how to use apologies to bring about necessary changes in the relationship dynamics, and stopping hurtful behaviours.
