It seems like most of us have dysfunctional families in one way or another.  

However, there's a clear difference between experiencing challenges in our childhood, or growing up in an idiosyncratic family environment, and suffering serious trauma at the hands of people who have hurt you.  What's even worse in when the people who have wounded you the deepest were supposed to love and protect you the most.  But, due to mental illness, addiction, their own trauma and maybe for reasons we will never understand, our relationships with those closest to us, don't always work out that way.  

Rather than developing strong formative relationships, we grow up with feelings of guilt, anger and inner conflict.  

But even though these experiences were not our fault, how do we reconcile them, so we can live fully and freely in spite of the pain of our past?  One pathway forward may be forgiveness.  In this episode we discuss how forgiveness can help mend the wounds of the past, free us from ongoing suffering and allow us to live more fully.   If we find it hard to forgive others, perhaps we can extend forgiveness for ourselves.   

Don't we all deserve love and emotional freedom?  

Thank you for listening.
