In part two of our Trauma Talk Series, we discuss what it means when you can't stop saying ‘I’m sorry’ after escaping abuse and over-apologizing as a Trauma Response.

Do you have a tendency of over-apologizing? Are you the sort of person who blurts “sorry!” when someone collides with you in the street? Even when it’s entirely their fault? For example, do you apologize for making a perfectly reasonable request at a restaurant? Or seek forgiveness for unpleasant circumstances beyond your control? If those scenarios sound uncomfortably familiar to you, you’re not alone. Saying sorry too much is a common problem (especially among women). However, over apologizing all the time could mean you’re essentially saying sorry for your existence. Over time this not only undermines your self-worth but also your capacity to manifest an abundant life. If you find yourself saying sorry too much, listen on to learn why you do it and how to develop strategies that can help you stop.
