How do you forgive the unforgivable? | Clara Naum | #067 Mastering Change

How do you move forward when something feels impossible to forgive? Forgiveness is often misunderstood.  When many people hear the word, they think it means excusing what happened, condoning harmful behaviour, or letting someone off the hook. This week on Mastering Change, Clara Naum offers a different perspective. Drawing on her work across therapy, coaching and personal development, Clara describes forgiveness not as something we do for the person who hurt us, but as a tool that helps us move from survival into possibility.  Rather than presenting forgiveness as an obligation or a requirement for healing, she invites listeners to consider it as one possible route towards releasing the hold that past experiences can continue to have on our lives.  We discuss: Why forgiveness can be misunderstood The difference between forgiveness and condoning harm How unresolved hurt keeps us stuck Why the body remembers what the mind tries to forget Acceptance, self-forgiveness and personal freedom How forgiveness can help us regain choice This conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of healing, freedom and loosen the grip of the past. Moment of Care: This episode discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, mental health and distressing experiences.
