The Process Of Forgiveness

Process of Forgiveness
Forgiveness, however you see it, from spiritual to psychological, it is surely a process. But what is forgiveness and how can one achieve it? There are many blogs, books, and scriptures to show how forgiveness is a necessary step into growing as a person. Dr. Wayne W. Dryer, Zack Carter, Michelle Rad, and Diana Gruver all have research points or have previous experience within forgiveness to give advice and to help understand it, along with how to forgive. This research will point out main topics and/or steps on the spiritual aspect and psychological understanding to forgive and how it progresses for one’s self.

Gruver has a more of a spiritual approach when it comes to the term forgiveness. According to Diana

As Zack has done research on forgiveness as well, he states, “…studies show people unwilling to extend forgiveness to someone who has done them harm will often withdraw from social relationships and tend to experience deep loneliness,” (Carter, 2017). Along with that, for one to still have hurt and negative feelings, can add to stress, which has a huge impact on our bodies physically and emotionally. The stress of unforgiving feelings can take tolls on the body, leading to health problems that shouldn’t be around, and also can slow down the process to moving on with life. But when one can forgive, going through with the process, “…extending forgiveness was essential to personal healing,” (Carter, 2017). The process of forgiving, comes with the ability to walk away knowing, one’s self will heal in time. No more harboring negative

Forgiveness is more than just letting go, and you don’t always have to go back to trusting the persecutor after the incident, for forgiveness is a choice. Basically, there isn’t an actual process to forgiving, but there are ways to help to get through it. Forgiving benefits one physically, emotionally, and mentally, for baring on dark days for the long run really takes a left on going in the right direction. Letting go on the anger on the inside and resentment, and stating that the boundaries are for future reference for the one causing the damage puts things into place of what is acceptable or not. And at the end of the day, forgiveness should more importantly be for the victim’s sake, not for anyone
