58. Forgiveness: How the Right Communication Repairs Relationships
In this podcast episode, we look at the role of forgiveness in relationships and healthy communication.
In relationships between imperfect people, mistakes are inevitable. And when we find ourselves with damaged connections, it’s a specific kind of communication that can help us make amends.
Fred Luskin is the Director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project, and has devoted much of his career to researching the way forgiveness affects our psychological, relational, and physical health.
