Description

The Forgiving Self: A Path from Resentment to Connection This thought-provoking book explores our struggle with forgiveness and how we can cultivate a more loving and compassionate relationship with ourselves. Renowned psychologist Robert Karen argues that our inability to forgive stems from an insecure aspect of the self, which harbors unresolved pain from childhood. Through real-life examples and his own practice, Dr. Karen reveals how we can move beyond feelings of being wronged without betraying our legitimate anger or need for repair. By locating the forgiving self, we can find relief from compulsive self-hatred and bitterness, and re-emerge with a renewed sense of love. This insightful book offers practical guidance on how to voice anger without causing harm, acknowledge our own part in what has gone wrong, and see flaws as an integral part of humanity.
