Genuine apology goes beyond remorse, says legendary playwright Eve Ensler. In this frank, wrenching talk, she shares how she transformed her own experience of abuse into wisdom on what wrongdoers can do and say to truly repent — and offers a four-step roadmap to help begin the process. (This talk contains mature content.)

Your inner child is waiting for a genuine, heartfelt apology.
Call men in
Bless this woman.
This really opens my eyes. I can’t just say “sorry” randomly because I’m nice like a Canadian.
Its true I’ve never heard a man owning to raping someone amongst all other crimes
What a power message. I absolutely loved this talk and I hope more people watch it.
needed this
So do I,universe is always conspiring in our favor!!!!
I have been asking that question WHY ME, WHY did my dad treat me like s**t, apologize, and then continue to treat me like s**t growing up? Eve has delved into the answers. Because my Dad was jealous of me and my talents, so he wanted to sabotage me so that I wouldn’t pass him in accomplishments. Well dadio, I accomplished different things than you did. I appeared at city council meetings to support public transit here, I got a “SuperExpress” type bus routes started here, I edit wikipedia (he couldn’t write proper grammar sentences with uppercase and punctuation!), I sing better than he ever could and participated in school and church choirs and have sung solo karaoke in front of 200 of my work collegues (I Love a Rainy Night by Eddy Rabbit). I am an empath and he kept his real feelings inside (sociopath). I am more articulate (usually) and am more sure of myself than my dad who was so wishy-washy with his verbal communications. I got to meet with two Mayors of Winnipeg (Murray and Katz). In 2000 when someone else wasn’t at city hall, the media had a scrum (Q & A) session with ME. I was on the local news about Transit fare increases in 2000.
What did my dad do again? He was jealous of me, so he’d want to destroy anything I had, whether it be a physical possession or a personal quality I had (joy).
Thank you for helping in every way for everyone and to this planet, we need to each other because to keep changing, every help is need to keep living
The help I receive is the help I give
From light to live to live from everything
There is love in everyone
Live love, be the love.
The words “Repentance and self-limitation” come to mind.
