Episode 2379:

Keith Wilson offers a practical guide to taking responsibility for past wrongs by first confessing to a neutral party. This step serves as a "dress rehearsal" before facing the person you hurt, ensuring your statement is honest and free from justifications. By sharing with someone trustworthy, you gain perspective, dispel shame, and prepare for a more effective reconciliation.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://keithwilsoncounseling.com/2017/04/28/confession-to-a-neutral-party/

Quotes to ponder:

"It makes no sense to take responsibility in such a way that nobody hears it."

"Have him listen for hidden justifications. Have her look for spin."

"You are probably harder on yourself than anyone else will be."
