Bitterness is just a poison pill we take hoping that the other person gets sick.
Ever wondered why we tend to fixate on the negatives rather than celebrating the positives? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the concept of forgiveness and its impact on our mental health. They tackle the common human tendency to focus on what’s wrong rather than what’s right, and how this mindset can hinder our journey towards healing.
Through engaging dialogue and relatable anecdotes, they explore the importance of balancing the recognition of both good and bad aspects in our lives. Forgiveness, they argue, is not just a gift to others but a crucial step towards self-healing. By letting go of anger and resentment, whether directed at ourselves or others, we open the door to personal growth and better relationships.
West shares a touching story about his friend who punished himself for his mistakes, illustrating how self-forgiveness can be a challenging yet necessary process. The episode also highlights how harbouring bitterness is like taking poison and expecting the other person to suffer. This candid conversation between West and Austin is filled with practical advice and heartfelt reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with forgiveness and self-compassion.
