25. How to Forgive and Find Peace: Reflecting on Forgiveness
The Home of Wellbeing and Joy.
Welcome to Episode 25 How to Forgive and Find Peace: Reflecting on Forgiveness, where Dr Marcus and Charlie explore how forgiveness can help us let go of resentment, regulate emotions, and reclaim peace, even when justice isn’t possible.
From self-forgiveness to the REACH model, this episode dives into what forgiveness really is (and isn’t), why it supports mental and physical health, and how to practise it without excusing harm or forcing reconciliation.
We explore:• How forgiveness shifts us from fight-or-flight into healing 🌱• Why self-forgiveness matters for true emotional growth 💡• How to balance justice, accountability, and peace ⚖️• The REACH model: Recall, Empathise, Altruistic gift, Commit, Hold on 🧠• Why forgiveness is linked to better health and wellbeing 💓
Practical Advice for Listeners:
1. Shift the Spotlight Back to You
2. Release the Need for Justice Move to Peace
3. Allow Time
4. Redefine Relationships Post-Forgiveness
5. Empathise with the offender
6. Forgive Yourself, Too
