The Damage: Named Those We've Harmed | Lawrence Davis

Some harm is loud, but most of it is quiet: the friend we ghosted, the parent we keep at arm’s length, the coworker we threw under the bus, the apology we keep “meaning” to send. Step Eight of the Twelve Steps puts all of it on the table with one deceptively simple move: we make a list of all persons we have harmed and become willing to make amends. Not the speech yet. Not the perfect moment. Just the names and the willingness.
