Forgiveness Fallacies: Forgiveness is a LONG Journey
https://youtu.be/0G02jr9JZfU Does Forgiveness Take a Long Time? It All Depends! Today we're looking at the fallacy that "Forgiveness is a LONG Journey." I will start off by saying with spiritual healing itself is never a long journey. It is always an instantaneous and immediate shift.

I have heard stories about people who have forgiven others because every day they would Continue Reading
Forgiveness Fallacies: Forgive But Don’t Forget
https://youtu.be/8a0TELRatZk Ever Heard "Forgive But Don't Forget"? Me Too. When I hear people talk about forgiveness, the idea of "forgive but don't forget" comes up a lot.

We can either decide the person is not living up to the obligations they have to us (implying there's a Continue Reading

https://youtu.be/QcrkXlJtinc Fallacy #1: You NEED TO Forgive! Hi, and welcome to the first video in my new series that I'm entitling "Forgiveness Fallacies." The fallacy I want to look at today is"We Need to Forgive." I realize that I'm flying in the face of almost all tradition, secular and religious alike. But I don't think forgiveness is the most helpful process for healing. When we focus on forgiveness we are putting our attention on somebody else - what they did and how they hurt us, and Continue Reading
