You’ve heard that forgiveness is an important step in the healing process. But HOW to forgive is not always as clear.

In this episode we look at the 4 Steps to Forgiveness.

  1. Identifying the injury and its impact—How did you get hurt? What does it cost you? What is the long term impact?
  2. Making the injury your own—Giving up pretending that nothing happened to you and realizing that your world will never be the same again.
  3. Identifying the responsible party—If no one is responsible, then there is no one to forgive. Why is it hard to place responsibility on others? How rationalization and justification are used to try to keep you safe.
  4. Balancing the accounts—Looking forward and not backward. Putting up boundaries. Choosing to no longer seek anything from the offender.
