How to Offer an Apology and Regain Trust after an Offense

An apology has to have a goal in mind. And that goal should not be to assuage your ego or to get rid of guilt. The goal of an apology is to offer acknowledgment of an offense and bring healing to another’s wounded soul. Most people do not know how to offer a proper apology. I only learned the importance of getting this right after reading Dr. Chapman’s book. There really is a formula, according to Chapman, on how we offer an apology. There are five elements of apology:

Expressing regret—You must say: “I am sorry.”

Accepting responsibility—You must admit: “I was wrong.”

Making restitution—You should ask: “What can I do to make it right?”

Genuinely repenting—You should commit: “I’ll try not to do that again.”

Requesting forgiveness—You must ask to be restored: “Will you please forgive me?”[2]
