The idea is this: You must forgive your those who hurt you to get to heal.
This is a lie.
If this means you do not want to forgive your abuser, then do not forgive them.

This notion of forced forgiveness is extremely harmful to a survivors health.
I have said this before and I will say it again.
People heal in a completely unique way, the way they process their days in a completely unique way.
We cannot force them to heal the way we want them to.
Some people heal better through staying angry at their attackers and gaining justice.
Some people heal better through forgiving their own selves.
Jesse Herzog
that this is a very short sighted approach to a very broad journey that is different to everyone.
Your recovery and healing journey is entirely YOUR call.
You do not owe anyone your forgiveness to heal other than yourself.
