Title
Forgiveness Pressure: Why Anger and Resentment are Healing Potions and Forgiveness is the Real Poison.
Description
“You will only heal if you find forgiveness in your heart!” Why does it always seem that people want us to forgive someone, but don’t focus on the offender making it right? Instead, they make our valid feelings into their problem and tell us the solution must lie within us. In this talk, I will discuss what “forgiveness” really is (hint, it is not something for you to give!) and review some of the reasons others pressure us to “just let it go.” I will then discuss ways anger and resentment are healthy, necessary emotions and how to cope with Forgiveness Pressure.
