In this week’s episode, .hanson and talk about what it really means to release resentment.
hanson shares the idea of “disentangled forgiveness versus full pardoned forgiveness.” Disentangled forgiveness doesn’t mean thinking the other person is a great person or that you’re no longer bothered. It means removing the sharp edges of the memory so it no longer has power over you. adds that when we let go, we stop giving people the ability to wrong us again and again in our own mind.
