I’ve got a bit of a controversial opinion on the topic of forgiveness, particularly when it comes to forgiving those who have abused us. I think forgiveness is important, but so often it’s a concept that’s shoved down our throats. We’re told we have to forgive. And if we don’t? We’re shamed (or we shame ourselves). I also think that we often confuse the word “forgiveness” with “reconciliation”. Those are two very different words, and should be handled separately. 

What would happen if we loosened up a bit, and took the pressure off this topic? What if it really was your choice to forgive…or not. As survivors of narcissistic abuse, we’re not used to having choices. And, we are used to feeling shamed for things that we shouldn’t be. 

On today’s recording, I share my thoughts on forgiveness, and why this is a more nuanced conversation than we tend to think.
