In this episode, Dr. Lurve challenges the cultural myth that apologies automatically fix relationships. We’ve been conditioned to believe that a sincere “sorry” resets everything, that once the words are said, we move on and start fresh. But that’s not how trust works. An apology is not a reset button. It doesn’t erase memory, undo hurt, or repair a dysregulated nervous system. It’s not the finish...

With research showing that over half of Gen Z and Millennial...
