Episode notes
Forgiveness Is For Yourself
- Forgiveness is an intrapersonal behavior you do for your own healing.
- It removes resentment that would otherwise embitter your heart.
Forgiveness Is Not Approval
- Forgiving does not mean approving or condoning the harmful behavior.
- It is a skill to relieve yourself of resentment, not to excuse the act.
Shift Focus To Underlying Causes
- Shift focus from the specific hurtful act to the conditions that produced it.
- Consider ignorance, confusion, or emotional deception as causes behind the behavior.
