In this episode we will explore the complex subject of forgiveness, inspired by the Yom Kippur holiday and also by the many feelings stirred in me by tragic testimonials from both sides that I heard seemingly endlessly on October 7th. So much unbearable trauma. How do people move on?
My experience of forgiving my father was one of the most profound experiences of my life, and I also know that forgiveness is not for everyone or every kind of injury. Not everyone is forgivable, or worthy/safe to forgive.
Self-forgiveness however is imperative, and is finding a way to live with ourselves after doing or feeling responsible for something destructive or painful. This will be a first look at what is a very big and to me very important topic.
