- This workshop offers a clear, empowering alternative to forgiveness when an offender cannot or will not make amends. Participants learn a structured model of **acceptance**, a self-healing process that helps people release obsession, understand the offender’s behavior without excusing it, protect their own dignity, and move forward without living in resentment. Through stories, clinical examples, and ten practical steps, the session shows how acceptance restores agency, reduces self-blame, and creates the option of reconciliation only when it is safe and genuinely earned.
