EP 11 Redefining Gratitude and Forgiveness After Abuse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Wildly Her, I open up about the well-intentioned advice I received that actually caused me more confusion in my healing.
I felt pressure to be thankful for what I endured and to forgive in ways that dismissed my pain and furthered abusive behaviors. I talk about how the misconceptions behind these messages, especially for survivors of psychological and emotional abuse, can cause more pain and slow our healing.
Well-intended people may want to help us, but unless someone truly understands how psychological and emotional abuse affects victims, the advice may be unintentionally harmful to survivors.
