After a herpes diagnosis, a lot of people do the inner work. They learn, they grow, and they try to move forward. But something can still feel unfinished.

In this episode of the Herpes Wellness Podcast, Cat Dupree talks about forgiveness and why it is one of the most overlooked but essential parts of healing. Not forgiveness for someone else, but forgiveness as the step that allows you to stop carrying anger, resentment, and emotional pain long after the diagnosis.

You’ll learn why anger shows up in different ways depending on how you got herpes, how it often turns inward, and why no amount of anger changes what happened. Cat also shares how forgiveness is not about excusing the past or letting anyone off the hook, but about releasing what you are still carrying so it stops shaping your life.

This episode also introduces a practical forgiveness tool using Ho’oponopono and explains how consistent practice can help your mind and body respond differently over time.

You’ll learn:

-How anger after herpes diagnosis shows up and why it lingers

-Why inner work alone does not always bring emotional relief

-What forgiveness actually means and what it does not

-How forgiveness helps you move forward without denying your experience

-A simple daily practice to help release what you have been holding onto
