hmmmm.. yea, makes me think, the ones that say that-- in the profession-- are just saying it to push the client towards self-forgiveness, not that it's a proven fact.

I have forgiven most of the people from my childhood that I was at the hands of their abuse...most... but there are a few things of myself that I haven't yet been able to forgive.....

there were horrific things these eyes saw and doubt the self's reaction or non-reaction to them......

but that sure doesn't mean I haven't forgiven others.

thanks for this thread
