Forgiveness is the release of resentment or anger. Forgiveness doesn’t mean reconciliation. We don’t have to return to the same relationship, nor do we have to accept the same harmful behaviors from an offender.
    Forgiveness is vitally important for the mental health of certain victims. It propels people forward rather than keeping them emotionally engaged in an injustice or trauma. Carrying the hurt or anger of an offense leads the body to release stress chemicals. Eliminating the perpetual flow of those chemicals may also explain why forgiveness provides physical health benefits.
    There are scenarios in which forgiveness is not the best course. Sometimes a victim becomes more empowered when they give themselves permission not to forgive.
    Forgiveness can be challenging. This is especially true when the offending party offers an insincere apology, or maybe they haven’t offered anything at all. However, it’s often the healthiest path forward. It’s important to cultivate forgiveness by developing compassion for the offender. Reflect on whether the act was due to malicious intent, or whether it was caused by challenging circumstances in the offender’s life.
    What about forgiving ourselves? We sometimes need to take responsibility for mistakes, but intense guilt and shame aren’t a desirable outcome in the long run. Forgiving yourself may seem like an ambiguous process. You can begin by acknowledging that you are at fault. Take responsibility for the hurt you caused, then reflect on why the event occurred, draw the lessons you learned, and try to avoid committing a similar offence in the future.
