I agree with all posters above if you are not ready to forgive a deed/person don't push yourself.
I think before forgiveness of others, i/you really need to ask yourself why do I want to forgive and what does forgiveness really mean for you.

All the right answers.. so I can move forward.....holding resentment only hurts me.
Blah, yes it is true but it has more layers.
False forgiveness, when you think you have forgiven and it comes back again in different ways.
IMO, Some things are unforgivable, and the other person will have to deal with it.

One of the most important steps is learning to forgive ourselves.
And learning that all the malicious deeds done and how they affected me/you/others,still.

The Silent Self Harm is in this moment/in the present 'it' continues to be part of us everyday. In how we think, see, react or withdraw.
Healing comes in signs keeping an open mind everyday has a revolution if we are willing to see.
Stop suffering/ You have suffered enough/ You are worthy of Joy and Happiness/

Forgiveness usually comes at the end of a journey or we arrive at ....
IMO, begin when life began. This is separate but in conjunction with where I am today.
Meaning it is worked on specifically then brought in with working on today.
The focus of forgiving oneself is to allow some room between the holding of responsibility/blame and allowing some freedom in. It is a shift in perspective.
Love yourself unconditionally, you are worthy. You are intelligent and divine.
Nourish the person you are and softly point out when you begin to feel swayed to negativity.
Everyone has their own journey and what works for them.
