Description

Description:

Forgiveness has been held up as the gold standard of recovery from intimate wounds. Often people find forgiveness too generous, particularly when the offender is unrepentant. Dr. Spring proposes a bold, new healing alternative that lets us make peace with the past- with or without forgiving.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe an alternative to forgiveness when the offender is unrepentant.
  2. To describe how to control obsessive ruminations about the injury.
