Step THREE: Use your judgment to asses whether or not the apology offered was genuine. STEP FOUR: Check out what you are feeling inside after the apology. What thoughts and feelings are coming up for you? Listen to your instincts.

STEP FIVE: If you feel safe enough, express what is coming up for you. Articulate your thoughts and emotions clearly, avoiding any accusatory or aggressive language. Use "I" statements to convey how their actions or words affected you personally. This is also a time to ask for clarity if you need it.

STEP SIX: Check in with yourself. Are you ready to accept their apology?
