We have to move into an I-thou relationship to whatever wrongs we have done to others and whatever wrongs have been done to us.
Forgiveness is often easier said than done, especially when addiction and resentment are part of the equation. In this episode of 'Ask An Addiction Specialist', Dr. Worthington and the team tackle the intricate psychology behind forgiveness. They delve into how harboring resentment can be a ticking time bomb for those in recovery and explore the fascinating mind-body connection involved in letting go of grudges.
But it doesn't stop there; they also discuss internal forgiveness and how it can significantly reduce the risk of relapse. The episode includes a practical forgiveness exercise designed to help listeners learn from their past mistakes and move forward with a lighter heart. This conversation goes beyond just making a mental decision to forgive; it aims to provide a deeper, more meaningful understanding of what true forgiveness entails.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and tools to help navigate the emotional landscape of forgiveness.
