“Sorry” has a job. It helps us repair things when we’ve hurt someone, made a mistake, or caused a problem.

But sometimes it shows up when there’s nothing to repair.

“Sorry, I have a question.”
“Sorry, I can’t.”

Notice it this week when “sorry” shows up—not to correct it or judge it — just to ask yourself whether it needed to be there.

Save this one for the next time you catch yourself apologizing automatically.

What would you tell a friend about Rose City Center? 87% of survey respondents said they would begin with Rose City’s affordable, high-quality psychotherapy. That is the heart of our work: making excellent psychotherapy accessible to people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. As one community member shared: “Rose City is rare and needed. There is truly a large group of the population that can’t afford quality therapy—but needs it.” Thank you for helping us better understand what Rose City means to you.

You don’t have to know what you’re going to say before you walk through the door. “I don’t know where to start” is a perfectly good place to start.

One awkward interaction can turn into a much bigger story in our minds.

Someone responds differently than we expected, or a text goes unanswered. Perhaps a conversation feels slightly off. Before long, we may find ourselves trying to figure out what it meant.

One simple exercise can help create some distance:

What happened? Write down only what you actually observed.

What do I think it meant? Write down the interpretation your mind added.

Separating an event from our interpretation of it gives us another way to look at the situation before deciding what it means.

Psychotherapy can help us become more aware of patterns involving anxiety, overthinking, relationships and the stories we tell ourselves about everyday interactions.

Rose City Center offers therapy in Pasadena and telehealth throughout California.
