I can certainly relate when I hear people say this to me. The thought of forgiving a person who repeatedly and knowingly lied to me, minimized me, tried to smear my name, gaslighted me (etc. etc.) at one time in my life would have seemed ludicrous. Until I learned when forgiveness was doing to my physical health was I able to begin to process the fact that I could take back my power regardless of what the other did or didn't do. When forgiveness is a part of hoovering it's a good idea to take a good hard look at your boundaries and the importance of NO CONTACT. The forgiveness I gave and continue to give is not about anyone who might have inflicted pain...it's about me and what energy I want to surround myself with as I experience the precious moments of my life.
