Childhood Trauma and Forgiveness. Why We Need to Forgive Both Ourselves and Others

Childhood Trauma and Forgiveness. Why We Need to Forgive Both Ourselves and Others  Today I wanted to share some thoughts about forgiveness. Why is forgiveness so important in the healing of childhood trauma? I talk about why forgiveness is not about condoning what others have done but it is more about ourselves. When we forgive we release the resentment and the hatred that we are carrying. I link it in to boarding school trauma and also to Jennifer Freyd's betrayal trauma. Here is the boarding school men's circle I spoke about: https://www.piers-cross.com/online-mens-circles And here is the latest podcast with leading parenting expert Sarah Ockwell-Smith: https://youtu.be/ijqYaxlXK34 Warm regards, Piers ---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
