He challenges the assumption that saying “I’m sorry” is inherently loving or helpful, and he reveals that most apologies do not arise from love, but from fear.Using simple, vivid examples - from apologizing for a late reply to his team, to choosing to celebrate a young man’s father rather than offering condolences - Gary shows how apologies often function as unconscious attempts to gain approval, avoid conflict, or manage how others feel about us. Beneath the surface, they reflect a frightened part of the personality reaching outward for relief instead of turning inward toward growth.The most loving response to guilt is not an apology. It is the conscious choice to challenge the frightened part of the personality that guilt activates, and to cultivate authentic power instead.What You’ll Discover in This Episode:((((((Embrace the Soul Step ChallengeThink of a recent moment when you felt the impulse to apologize - to a colleague, a loved one, or even a stranger.
