What is Forgiveness and Healing? 

Forgiveness is the deliberate choice to let go of anger, resentment and the desire for vengeance. Rather than simply forgetting or excusing a wrongdoing, ‘forgiving’ is the reclaiming of inward peace, releasing yourself from emotional baggage that you could be carrying as a result of an offence., not for the offender’s sake but for your own.

Healing is the process of resolving past emotional wounds from previous relationships, preventing them from dictating the way you relate in future relationships and allowing you to engage from a place of wholeness rather than bitterness.
