Dan Bryant, Psychologist: Giving the Gift of Forgiveness

It is very easy to stress over what material items to give people we love during the holidays. What we often overlook are gifts that cost nothing from a monetary perspective, but can be difficult to offer others. I am talking about things like compassion, understanding, acceptance and the biggest of all ~ Forgiveness. In this interview with Dan Bryant, Behavioral Health Educator, we talk about ways we learn to cultivate and practice forgiving ourselves, and others. For people in intimate relationships, we talk about important keys in communication that will foster greater intimacy such as: being genuinely curious about the other person, owning our experience and feelings, as well as deepening our understanding of ourselves. To finish we delve into what forgiveness is and what it isn’t. Ultimately forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves, but getting to that place can be quite a journey in the mind. Tune in!
