Fractured Moments

Apology and forgiveness can become internal icebergs which have developed into psychological structures that appear on our internal ocean floor. How and what we feel - think - and do - the apology and forgiveness dynamic is not always interpreted the way we see it or even feel about it.

A major challenge is to listen and understand the words of the apology and forgiveness spectrum from the other side. Coming to an agreement in attempting to understand where each group is holding and waiting for some resolution is an important listening passage for both groups. A genuine desire to open another opportunity to explore some new options may prove to be a major piece of the apology/forgiveness puzzle.

In this book, we address the following steps that can aid you in your apology/forgiveness process:

1.   Length and Width of an Apology/Forgiveness Transaction

2.   Tempo Tampering

3.   What Will It Take to Get a Resolution?

4.   Life After a Search. How do you expect your life to change? Do you think clarification and/or satisfaction will be achieved?

We also help you revisit the process after you've already worked on your apology/forgiveness transaction - so that you can move forward:

1.   Let's adjust our thinking for a moment.

2.   How long has this been going on?

3.   Subject matter

4.   People involved

5.   Location

6.   Who decides what's on the table?

7.   Has there been any agreement?

8.   If there is currently no agreement, how far apart are the versions? Maybe there are more than two scenarios.
