Do-overs, rewinds, and mulligans

Pick your favorite colloquial term: do-over, rewind, or mulligan. Whichever it is, that may be an excellent Goldilocks type of option when a difficult exchange (or series of them) has occurred where a relationship is valued and ongoing. Not an explicit dissection of what went wrong, perhaps in excruciatingly painful detail.  And not silence, with no acknowledgement of any problem at all.Instead, a decision to have another go at it. Without assigning fault, but with a determination to do better. Not too much and not too little: the Goldilocks approach.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?
