You DON'T Need to Forgive!

from expret.org Former Pret A Manger Staff Speaks Out · host expret.org

Upfront, I am NOT suicidal. Even when this is a well-meaning advice from people to you after you suffered either trauma, wrong doing etc. you do NOT need to forgive, not even when a psychologist tells you this to feel better. Forgiveness does NOT make you feel better, it is gaslighting your system. Forgiveness is important when YOU want to and especially when those who need forgiveness ASK for it in a humble and respectful manner. But you do NOT need to forgive at all. This forgiveness doctrine is society's cop-out for you to function, so they don't have to bother with your trauma or incapability to function in society, while a good meaning friend doesn't give a toss about how you were injured and damaged during your most vulnerable time. For psychologists stumbling on my podcast, it also would be good, just like psychiatrist Dr. Frank Ochberg campaigns for, to rename Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI).
