1:01:09Now PlayingWhat’s the real difference between saying “I’m sorry” and making amends? In this episode, host Aaron Prager sits down with psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr. Stephen Marmer to break down what genuine amends require: truth, empathy, accountability, and repair—not word games or “pseudo apologies.”
Aaron helps unpack:
Why amends start with acknowledging the truth (and what words to avoid saying)
How to see the harm “through the other person’s glasses” (real empathy / mentalization)
Why forgiveness isn’t guaranteed and why you make amends anyway
How shame, guilt, pride, and fear block recovery and how to move through it
The idea of a “living amends” to yourself
