Why I'm Sorry Isn't Enough

Dr. Tracy, sits down with her husband Greg to unpack why apologies so often fail in relationships. Together they reveal the four types of "sorry" that never lead to real repair: performative apologies, apologies without behavior change, shame-driven apologies, and avoidant apologies that shut down the conversation. Dr. Tracy explains why true repair goes beyond words — it requires understanding the impact, taking responsibility, and committing to real change. Greg offers his honest perspective as a partner who's navigated these patterns firsthand. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered "why doesn't my apology land?" or "why doesn't their sorry feel like enough?"
