In today’s video, I talk about the three steps of forgiveness. Forgiveness is important for our relational health and our mental health as a whole.
Step 1: Forgive Yourself
- Forgive yourself and don’t blame yourself any longer
- Note: forgiveness doesn’t imply blame is warranted (e.g. in situations of abuse)
- Forgiveness is about offering yourself grace
Step 2: Forgive the Other Person
- The other person doesn’t need to be present or even aware
- Find your reasons for forgiving (e.g. they didn’t know any better OR for your own closure etc…)
- Forgiving doesn’t necessarily mean the person should be allowed back into your life

Step 3: Let Go (and be free!)
- The final step towards healing
- Leave the situation in the past and move forward
- This is where you find freedom
Closing quote:
When you hate, the only one that suffers is you because most of the people you hate don’t know it and the rest don’t care. (source: Ghosts of Mississippi)
