The Importance of Repair in Relationships

Repair is the act of going back to a moment of disconnection, taking responsibility for your behavior, and acknowledging the impact it had on another. It is the most important skill that any person can learn and practice in their relationships, according to Dr. Becky Kennedy. Repair is different from a simple apology, as it opens up a conversation and allows for learning and growth. Dr. Becky emphasizes the importance of acknowledging what happened, taking responsibility, and discussing what could be done differently next time. Repairing relationships helps foster realism, hope, and possibility.
