Forgiveness is the process of letting go of resentment or anger towards someone who has caused harm or hurt. It is a decision to release negative feelings and to move on from the pain caused by the actions of another person. Forgiveness is not about forgetting what happened or denying the harm that was caused, but rather it is about accepting that the event happened and choosing to let go of feelings of anger and resentment. Forgiveness can be difficult, but it can also be a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. It can help to improve relationships, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall well-being. While it may not always be easy, forgiveness can be an important step towards finding peace and moving forward in life.

Forgiveness is the process of letting go of negative feelings, such as anger and resentment, towards someone who has wronged you. It does not mean that you have to forget what happened or that you have to reconcile with the person who hurt you. Instead, forgiveness is about finding a way to move forward and let go of the negative emotions that can hold you back.
Forgiveness can be difficult, but it can also be a powerful and healing process. It can help to reduce stress and improve relationships.
There are various steps you can take to work towards forgiveness:
Acknowledge and validate your feelings: It's important to recognize and accept your feelings of hurt, anger, and resentment.
Reflect on the situation: Consider the circumstances surrounding the event and try to understand the perspective of the other person.
Make a decision to forgive: Forgiveness is a choice and requires a conscious effort.
Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding as you work through the process of forgiveness.
Communicate your feelings: If appropriate, consider talking to the person who hurt you about your feelings and the impact of their actions.
Remember, forgiveness is a personal process and may take time. It's important to be patient and kind to yourself as you work towards forgiveness. If you need help with the process of forgiveness, consider seeking support from a mental health professional.
Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Sometimes bad things happen to nice people. We can find ourselves stuck as a result of these situations and it can be difficult to move forward or even see anything else. Our perspective can become distorted by the perceived "boulder in the middle of the road". Holding these negative emotions on a regular basis inside our bodies can even make us physical ill. If you are finding yourself dealing with this challenge, consider that hypnosis is an excellent tool you can use to reach the crux of the problem and allow you to move forward.
