Do I have to forgive someone in order to heal? I get that question a lot.
In this episode I hope to provide some answers to that question as well as others.
When we understand that forgiving someone is about us and not about the other person our entire perspective on the subject of forgiveness will dramatically shift.
Forgiveness is ultimately about us and the choice is always ours. It ultimately is about releasing energy from our system and freeing ourselves from that energy that is only harming us.
