112: When Time Doesn’t Heal Wounds (Maybe Try Apologizing?)

I'm sure you've heard the saying, “Time heals all wounds.” But what have we actually experienced in the overlap of time and harm? Have we magically forgiven others and learned valuable lessons, or have resentments festered and habits formed that prevented us from the ability to navigate conflict resolution with honesty, willingness, and integrity?

Let’s unpack the myth of automatic healing, challenging the notion that the mere passage of time can passively mend emotional wounds and repair harm. Healing is an active and intentional process requiring introspection, patience, understanding, and integration of discomfort. 

Together, we will explore the grief of conflict and the many solutions we can find in the consistent practice of accountability, apologies, and making amends.
