Lesson Overview

15.27 – Why It’s Hard to Forgive People Who Hurt You: Forgiveness often feels impossible because pain changes how you see the world. When someone you cared for causes harm, every memory becomes tangled with disappointment. The mind replays what happened, hoping to rewrite it, yet nothing changes. Forgiving them doesn’t mean saying it was okay; it means deciding that their choices no longer own your emotional energy. Anger may feel protective at first, but it slowly erodes peace. Understanding why forgiveness is difficult helps you approach it with compassion for yourself. You’re not weak for struggling—you’re processing deep betrayal. Letting go is not instant; it’s layered healing built through honesty, boundaries, and courage. The more you release resentment, the lighter your heart feels, proving that forgiveness is never about them—it’s about setting yourself free from carrying their damage any longer.
