- YOU “SHOULD” FORGIVE.
Recently I attended a training about the topic of forgiveness and was prepared to bring back to my office a few wonderful handouts, worksheets, and poems to share with clients. Boy was I wrong! I learned much more about forgiveness and concepts of forgiveness than could be written on a worksheet. For one, I’ve heard many people say that a person “should” forgive those who have hurt them in order to help themselves. When we hold onto the hurts and resentments towards others, it only causes the person pain that is unwilling to forgive.
