We’ve all heard it: “I said I’m sorry, what more do you want?”
In today’s episode, Dr. Tracy and Greg unpack why so many apologies miss the mark — and what you can do when you’re left feeling unseen, dismissed, or even more hurt after hearing “sorry.”
Together, they explore why bad apologies happen (hint: it’s not always malicious), the emotional cost of apology fatigue, and the scripts you can use to move from surface-level repair to real reconnection.
If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of rupture, rushed apology, and no real change — this episode will show you a better way forward.
Plus, don’t miss the free listener guide: Scripts to Move From Surface Apologies to Real Repair!
Whether you're the one giving or receiving the apology, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered to repair with greater clarity, compassion, and connection.
