Do you feel this extreme pressure to forgive your ex?  Do you have people tell you that once you forgive them you will finally be able to heal?How do you forgive someone who continues to abuse you every day and blames you for it?What if I told you that it is not clinically required to forgive your abusive ex to fully heal?  But that it is required to forgive yourself to fully heal.In this episode, we break down the three different types of forgiveness: exoneration, forbearance, and release.  We look at which type of forgiveness is best suited for different situations and how you can offer forgiveness to yourself.  Self-forgiveness is necessary to reduce the shame that is negatively impacting your life.Show Links:https://dreditheger.com/http://healmyshame.com/Please leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.
