Repair Over Time
📋 What it is
Rebuilding trust after a bigger rupture takes patience and repeated small actions — it’s a bridge rebuilt plank by plank.
🗣️ Coach says
One apology rarely rebuilds big trust instantly. Trust returns through consistent small actions over time — showing up, following through, being reliable. Impatience ("but I said sorry!") stalls it. Seeing repair as a slow rebuild, not a single event, keeps you steady when it doesn’t heal overnight.
🧠 Memory hook
Big trust rebuilds SLOWLY — plank by plank, through consistent small actions. Patience is part of it.
