Ep. 023 | How to Forgive When You Can’t Forget

Whether it's been months or years, carrying the weight of betrayal can feel like something you'll never be able to set down. You'd let it go if you could, but forgiving feels like saying it was okay, or letting them off the hook. In this episode, we sit down to answer listener questions about forgiving what you can't forget, sharing what forgiveness looked like in our own recovery and starting with the piece so many people miss: what forgiveness actually is, and what it isn't.

In this episode:

• What forgiveness isn't: forgetting, reconciling, saying it was okay, or giving up your boundaries
• What forgiveness is: a choice you make for yourself, and why it costs you more to hold on than to let go
• The moments and rituals from our own forgiveness journeys that finally moved us from deciding to forgive to feeling it, even without the whole truth or an apology
