Narrado por: Molly Howes PhD, Maggi-Meg Reed

Through its four essential steps, A Good Apology gives groundbreaking advice on how best to make an effective apology toward rebuilding any relationship, for listeners of The Body Keeps the Score.

We've all done something wrong or made a mistake or insulted someone - even if by accident. We've all been hurt and wanted the other person to help us heal. It may be surprising, but the breaches themselves aren't the real problem; our inability to fix them is what causes us trouble.

In A Good Apology, Dr. Molly Howes uses her experiences with patients in her practice, research findings, and news stories to illustrate the power and importance of a thorough apology. She teaches how we can all learn to craft an effective apology with four straightforward steps.

An apology is a small-scale event between people, but it's enormously powerful. This comprehensive book gives listeners the tools to fix their relationships, make amends, and move forward. With it, you'll fully understand the meaning and importance of this universal and timeless endeavor: a good apology.

The book I’ve been searching for

I’ve been caught up in family drama and turmoil for years some of it initiated by me. This book has really helped me boundaries in my own mind about what I want to claim responsibility for and how to possibly elicit accountability on their part. I found this very insightful. I have no model in my life or how to apologize let alone doing it well. I wish I could send this book to everyone in my family.
