Capstone: Whole Repair
📋 What it is
The capstone: put it all together — notice, own it without shame, understand their side, offer a real repair, and rebuild with patience.
🗣️ Coach says
You now have the whole toolkit: ruptures are normal, notice them, own your part without shame, name the impact, apologise for real, listen, respect boundaries, and rebuild trust over time. Repair isn’t about being perfect — it’s about caring enough to come back and make things right. That is one of the bravest, most useful skills there is.
🧠 Memory hook
Notice → own (no shame) → understand → real repair → rebuild. Caring enough to come back IS the skill.
