Hi PearceHawk,
I don’t think the human brain is designed to forget painful experiences. Please hold yourself in compassion for the memories you have, and the way your brain/body is designed to take care of you.
I see forgiveness as a way of integrating past experiences into my thinking and behavior, not pretending the past experiences didn’t happen.
What is your understanding of what “should” happen if you forgive someone?
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
