The Practice of Forgiveness: Ed Frey The Well Mind Podcast

Join me in welcoming Ed Frey to the Well Mind community. The Well Mind Podcast is a space for meaningful conversations about a broad range of wellness related topics. In this episode, that topic is forgiveness. Forgiveness is an incredibly important practice that supports our relational, emotional, and spiritual health. So if that’s the case, then why is it so hard for us to apply forgiveness after we’ve been hurt? And why do we struggle with persistent, harsh, and critical self-talk when we’ve messed up or fallen short. It often comes from a misunderstanding about what forgiveness is and what forgiveness isn’t. Throughout this conversation Ed beautifully articulates the work of forgiveness and reconciliation in our relationship with God, with one another, and within ourselves. Ed is a pastor and professional counselor and brings tremendous depth to the conversation. I had a great time with Ed in this episode and found his words to be of tremendous comfort and filled with grace. He has such a compassionate heart and it’s a joy to share this episode with you.
