Title
Healing without Forgiveness: The Wisdom in Anger, Grief, and Resentment
Description
Healing doesn't come from forcing the emotions or actions often associated with forgiveness—it comes from making room for the emotions that naturally arise from pain and betrayal. This presentation explores how anger, grief, and resentment can promote safety, healthy boundaries, and lasting healing, often more effectively than pursuing forgiveness before you're ready.
Must be 18 years of age or older.
