Moving Forward: Six Steps to Forgiving Yourself and Breaking Free from the Past

Everett L. Worthington
All your life you’re told forgiveness is for you. But we’re never told why it’s for you. It means you’re working on owning your life.

Therapist and Founder, The Shani Project
Forgiveness is nothing less than the way we heal the world. We heal the world by healing each and every one of our hearts. The process is simple, but it is not easy.

In this workbook, you will work through practical exercises designed to promote self-forgiveness for an offense you committed against another person. Once you learn the method, you can apply the same easy six-step process to many hurts or even to times when you just get down on yourself for failing to reach some standard that you know is too ambitious to consistently achieve. By learning and then later applying this method, you may experience freedom from self-condemnation and restore a sense of self-acceptance and personal growth in your life.
