To forgive?
Every time I hear people talk about forgiveness in a context concerning trauma, I always wonder what "forgiveness" entails. There is a distinct possibility that my understanding of the word is off kilter from the rest of the world, it happens a bit with me, so I feel the need to check.
When I hear the word "forgive", it carries an implied, but very strong, sense of "it's ok", or "there's no longer a problem between us", and I feel like that's unhealthy at best.
If I'm misunderstanding something, I'd love to be corrected, and if anyone reading this has had success with this strategy, I'd be interested in discussing it.
