Apologies
We all make mistakes. Knowing how to mend our relationships is vital to the mental health of our families and communities. This hour-long program is an exploration of apologies: why saying "I'm sorry" can be so difficult—and so powerful. We examine what makes an apology work, and how we can get better at repairing the relationships that matter the most.
Through stories, this show addresses apologies after the #MeToo movement, and the pressure to forgive. It also chronicles the many ways a restorative justice process can change the lives of everyone involved. Host Dr. Anne Hallward combines compelling storytelling with practical expert guidance to give listeners the tools they need to start their own courageous conversations.
In Apologies, journalist Danielle Berrin confronts the man who sexually assaulted her; psychologist Harriet Lerner discusses the cultural pressure to forgive.
