Description
Geoff Thompson's personal journey to forgiveness began at just 11 years old, when he was sexually abused by a trusted teacher. This traumatic event had a profound impact on his life, leading him to struggle with anger, depression and self-harm as an adult.
In this deeply personal study, Thompson explores the concept of forgiveness and its transformative power. He reveals how forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing abuse, but about releasing the negative emotions that hold us back. With a focus on the healing benefits of forgiveness, Thompson shares practical techniques for overcoming anger, resentment and dissonance.
Through his own experiences and empirical research, Thompson shows how forgiveness can be a powerful tool for reclaiming our lives, finding love and inspiration, and discovering a new sense of purpose. This book offers a hopeful and empowering message to anyone who has been affected by abuse or trauma.
