Tap to send me your reflections ♡
I debated about whether to call this the art of forgiveness OR the art of SELF-forgiveness - and the second one won out… for reasons I’ll share.
We’re often told as children that we have to forgive another child for hitting us, hurting us, taking the toy we really wanted.
We’re taught we need to be the bigger, better person and RISE ABOVE the lowly behaviour shown by the other child.
This is curious in many ways.
Because embedded within that are SO many messages - not all of them that helpful. And I'll explore some of these as we go.
And while we might have been taught we 'must' forgive others, there is also the view that the only place forgiveness is truly valuable is in forgiving ourselves.
And that can be the hardest thing of all.
Listen in to hear more about why it may not be our 'place' to forgive others - and how we can learn to forgive ourselves.
