9. F*ck Forgiveness Healing Along The Way
-
- Mental hälsa
Despite the episode name, this is actually a very honest solo episode about reframing or changing the way we view forgiveness. I use a series of questions from Dr. John Demartini (mentioned below) to break down what it means to forgive, and why we may never need to forgive anyone for the rest of our lives. Not because we are bitter or resentful, but because we can instead just thank them FOR GIVING us the experience.
Forgiveness Questions:
1. Where and when have you displayed or demonstrated this exact same or similar trait, action or inaction that you disliked or even despised? Where, when and who did you do it to, and who perceived you doing it?
2. Go to the moment where and when you perceived them doing the behavior you think you need to forgive. Look at how, from the moment they did it until now, it SERVED you.
3. Go to the moment when they displayed this trait, action or inaction. If they had displayed the opposite trait, action or inaction-in other words, if it was the way you wished it was in that moment- what would have been the drawback to you from that moment until now?
"To accuse others for one's own misfortune is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete." Epictetus
