Ep. 045 – The Two Kinds of Forgiveness with Dr. Everett Worthington | Part 1: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch

In this first conversation with forgiveness researcher and lover of Jesus, Dr. Everett Worthington, we talk about what forgiveness actually is, why the Bible calls us to it, and how it connects to trauma healing. Dr. Worthington explains his well known REACH model and the difference between decisional forgiveness and emotional forgiveness. I share how this fits with the Heart Journey method and why we do safety and stabilization before deep memory and forgiveness work. If you have codependency patterns or sticky resentments or you have tried to forgive but your feelings did not follow, this one will really help you.
