You’ve had an episode. You’ve gotten angry or you’ve acted out or you’ve done whatever dumb thing you’re trying to not do anymore, but you did it again. 

And it left someone close to you feeling scared and hurt and frankly a bit traumatised. 

You’ve owned your behaviour and apologised for it. Given them space. 

You really want to help them feel safe again and reestablish connect. 

It was a set back, painful and harmful for all concerned, but you want to get back on track. 

Suggestions?
