Freedom from Guilt and Blame: Finding Self-Forgiveness
Self-forgiveness following guilt is self-essential to self-worth. Yet, for many of us, self-acceptance remains elusive due to negative emotions stemming from toxic guilt-sometimes for a lifetime. Freedom from Guilt and Blame is designed to free you from guilt's grip. It will help you sort out healthy from toxic guilt and distinguish it from other emotions, such as shame and regret. You're guided to review and assess your values, motives, responsibilities, actions, and beliefs, and understand the negative impact of perfectionism and codependency. To overcome guilt, three methods are set forth in detail: cognitive, self-compassion, and spiritual, including a Twelve-Step program approach. Applying these step-by-step processes and specific self-healing techniques and exercises will generate self-acceptance and self-forgiveness.
Guilt can be an unrelenting source of pain, keeping us stuck in the past and preventing us from being present and loving ourselves and others. Guilt may simmer in our unconscious, or we may condemn ourselves-not once, but over and over. Either way, toxic guilt is insidious and destructive and can sabotage our goals and relationships. It lowers our self-esteem and makes us easy targets for blame and manipulation.
Unresolved guilt can cause anger and resentment, not only at ourselves, but also toward others. On the other hand, recovery from guilt encourages us to get along with others, improve ourselves, and build self-esteem. Even if what we did was wrong, we can still find self-forgiveness. Freedom from Guilt and Blame provides a step-by-step recovery workbook for healing guilt and finding self-forgiveness and self-compassion.
