Words spoken in moments of fear, frustration, anger, or pain often bypass our deeper truth. They erupt from unprocessed emotion, not from clarity. And while they may not reflect who we truly are, they can still wound—ourselves and others. I recommend my clients to pause and reflect: What was the unmet need beneath those words? What was the pain trying to protect? Repair begins with acknowledgment, not shame. We can apologize with sincerity, take responsibility without self-condemnation, and use the moment as a mirror for healing. Every rupture is also an invitation to grow in self-awareness and compassion.
