Worksheet prompts
- What happened? Say it straight, without softening it and without piling on yourself.
- What did it cost the other person? Put it in their words if you can.
- What repair would actually help them? Ask them if you are not sure.
- One thing you will do differently the next time this comes up.
Losing it does not erase the rest of you. What you do next is the part that counts.
