Making Amends
Evidence-based guide to Making Amends. It explains the direct answer, responsibility, repair steps, limitations, safety guidance and shame or guilt research.
Making amends organizes emotion, responsibility, identity, repair and clinical boundaries without treating guilt, shame and accountability as synonyms. Distress does not by itself prove wrongdoing, total responsibility, bad character or a clinical disorder; this boundary remains explicit on “Making Amends”.
