BONUS: To get the other person to understand you say, “I’m scared I’m not making sense. Can you tell me what you heard me say?”

BONUS 2: Trying to understand actually empowers us to set boundaries instead of trying to control the other person’s actions too.

TRANSCRIPT:
Saying “I’m sorry” is bu****it, because we almost always actually mean “please don’t be mad at me.” That’s why it doesn’t work.

A lot of times when people ask for an apology, what they actually want is to feel understood. It’s caused so many problems in my relationship with my husband because we both said “I’m sorry” way too fast and way too often.

THEN! We switched to playing the mirror game instead. It’s so magical. I teach it to my clients Please take, use it, love it!

HOW TO: When one of us notices that there is tension of any kind (someone is hurt, there’s anger, there’s sadness, etc.), we go “What’s your perspective of what’s going on? What are you feeling?”

And then we just mirror back what the person says. We don’t apologize. we don’t defend. We don’t solve. We just mirror back.

“Oh, from your perspective, this was happening and this is how you felt? Is that right? What am I missing?”

Listen. Mirror back. Ask if they feel understood.

Once the person says they FEEL understood, then “sorry” will matter.

The tippy part is that I use this more often when *I* am the hurt one because when I feel like I’ve been hurt, what I’m looking for is to feel less alone. When we ask for an apology, what we want is to feel less alone.

Conflict is fighting to be understood— me versus you. Me wanting you to admit you’re the villain.
But how will I feel less alone if I see you as my villain?

Connection is fighting to understand.

So in order for me to allow you to understand me, I have to switch my brain into trying to understand you too. Otherwise, it won’t work.
