Therapy Note Series- "How to Move On When You Can't (or don't want to) Forgive"
Show Notes

What happens when you can't forgive someone who's done the unforgivable? The reality is, you don't have to! In this episode, I talk about how you can move forward when forgiveness isn't something you can or want to give.   

In this episode:

  • How performative forgiveness isn't authentic 
  • Why your forgiveness is a jewel
  • Healing first,  forgiveness is optional
  • Four ways to move forward when you can't/don't want to forgive

Journal/meditation questions from the episode:

  1. Am I healed enough to forgive?
  2. What will forgiveness provide me/the other person?
  3. If I do forgive, what comes next? Can I set boundaries to protect myself from that person hurting me again?
  4. What has that person done to be worthy of my forgiveness? Have they made amends to me?
