Description

Description:

How do we forgive a partner who cheats, drinks, insults, abandons - and doesn't show a shred of remorse? This keynote will challenge common assumptions about what it means to forgive and will present a radical model that gives hurt parties the courage to forgive - and the freedom not to.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To define the assumption that one must forgive to achieve mental, physical and spiritual health.
  2. To describe how these differences can be used to promote healing.
