The power of forgiving those whove hurt you, with Robert Enright, PhD

Published: July 12, 2023, 10:30 a.m.

When someone hurts you, it can feel justifiable or even satisfying to nurse a grudge. But psychologists have found that forgiveness, when done right, can lead to better mental, emotional and even physical health for the forgiver. Robert Enright, PhD, of the International Forgiveness Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, discusses how you know if you\u2019re ready to forgive, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, whether any harms are truly unforgivable, and how to forgive someone who isn\u2019t sorry for what they\u2019ve done.\n For transcripts, links and more information, please visit the\xa0Speaking of Psychology Homepage.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
