Self Forgiveness After Trauma: Reclaim Your Power Without Minimizing the Hurt with Shannon Curtis

On Cosmic Confluence, host Sana sits down with Shannon Curtis, founder of Angel Goddess Healing, to unpack forgiveness in a way that feels real. Not forced. Not performative. Shannon shares how self forgiveness helped her understand addiction as survival, release shame, and rebuild from grief, trauma, and loss. This episode is for anyone carrying guilt, anger, or exhaustion from past choices, painful relationships, miscarriage or infertility grief, or unresolved trauma. You will learn how to separate accountability from self punishment, feel emotions without spiritual bypassing, and set boundaries while still choosing peace. About the Guest: Shannon Curtis is the founder of Angel Goddess Healing and author of No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark. She shares her lived experience with addiction recovery, depression, anxiety, childhood sexual trauma, grief, and spiritual awakening. Key Takeaways: Replace self judgment with curiosity: ask what the behavior was trying to protect you from Self forgiveness begins with compassion and inner child work, not a single decision Forgiveness is not saying harm was okay; it is returning shame and pain to where it belongs Healing includes feeling anger and grief safely, not bypassing emotions with spiritual language Boundaries are part of forgiveness: you can release the weight without allowing access Choose “love over fear” by staying present instead of reliving trauma in the past How to Connect With the Guest: Shannon Curtis's Website  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
