Forgive for Good and The Process of Forgiveness Course Information
Forgive for Good:
Forgiveness brings you peace. It allows you to heal and engenders lowered stress levels and improved physical health.
Forgiveness is the feeling that emerges as you take your hurt less personally, take responsibility for how you feel, and become a hero instead of a victim in the story you tell: the hero who took the high road, was able to forgive, and was able to experience peacefulness in the present. Forgiveness means you become part of the solution, understand that hurt is a normal part of life, and is for you and no one else. You can forgive and rejoin a relationship, or you can forgive and never speak to the person again. Forgiveness provides the key to acknowledge the past and move on. Finally, forgiveness is an act that shows strength and can be an inspiration to others who are also hurting.
What forgiveness is not:
- Forgiveness is not condoning unkindness.
- Forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciling with the offender.
- Forgiveness doesn't mean minimizing your hurt and does not have to be a religious experience (or done for religious reasons).
We are more ready to forgive than we may think – we just lack the tools. We may imagine that an offense if “unforgivable”, but if we look around we will find people who’ve forgiven the very same offense. Forgiveness is a matter of motivation – and who wants to continue suffering when they’ve already been the recipient of an injustice? It’s like choosing to have neck pain long after the car accident is over.
The goal is to feel peaceful. Forgiveness is a trainable skill and the benefits are many. Dr. Luskin offers practical techniques in this five-week class for engendering forgiveness and creating more happiness and lowered stress levels in our lives.
The Forgive for Good class meets weekly for 5 weeks.
