This episode is for anyone who's been told they need to forgive in order to heal. Whether you've felt pressured to forgive someone before you were ready, been told that holding onto anger is 'toxic,' or wondered if refusing to forgive makes you a bad person, this conversation will give you permission to honor your boundaries. We're talking about the difference between forgiving yourself and forgiving others, why 'forgive and forget' is harmful, and how you can completely heal and move on without ever giving someone absolution for what they did. If you've ever felt guilty for not forgiving, this episode will remind you that your forgiveness is not required for your healing.
