Description
Do I have to forgive someone in order to heal? I get that question a lot. In this episode I hope to provide some answers to that question as well as others. When we understand that forgiving someone is about us and not about the other person our entire perspective on the subject of forgiveness will dramatically shift. Forgiveness is ultimately about us and the choice is always ours. It ultimately is about releasing energy from our system and freeing ourselves from that energy that is only harming us. 0:00 - Introduction to Forgiveness in Healing4:02 - The Consequences of Unforgiveness5:02 - How Unforgiveness Traps Us Emotionally and Physically6:11 - Understanding Why We Resist Forgiveness6:45 - Common Reasons for Holding Onto Unforgiveness7:37 - Misconceptions and False Empowerment in Unforgiveness8:57 - Unforgiveness as a Defense Mechanism9:24 - Holding Grudges Against Those Who Have Passed10:13 - The Dilemma of Forgiving to Honor Pain11:28 - What Forgiveness Is Not: Dispelling Myths13:41 - The Pressure and Misunderstanding Around Forced Forgiveness14:13 - Forgiveness and People-Pleasing in Toxic Relationships15:33 - Clarifying What True Forgiveness Entails16:24 - Forgiveness as Personal Healing and Release17:47 - Practical Steps Towards Genuine Forgiveness18:49 - Making the Decision to Forgive and Its Impact20:17 - Exploring the Benefits of Choosing Forgiveness21:13 - Shifting Perspectives on Forgiveness22:19 - The Importance of Intention in Forgiveness23:30 - Letting Go of Emotional Baggage Through Forgiveness24:33 - Healing the Original Wound to Enable Forgiveness25:09 - Implementing Forgiveness in Daily Life26:12 - The Ongoing Practice and Rewards of ForgivenessYou are worthy of your own love,JerryMy New Book:Returning: Meditations and Reflections on Self-Love and HealingTransformational Coaching:Learn More Here!Support the Show:My Patreon PageHow is your relationship with yourself going?Get your free-self assessment guideWatch On YoutubeWebsite:www.jerryhenderson.orgSupport the Show:My Patreon PageTrouble Sleeping?Sleep ResetGet Your Free Weekly Healing Tips!Free Guided Self-Love Meditation:Get it Here!Website:www.jerryhenderson.orgInstagram: ...
