The Science of Forgiveness
Check out this article by Dr. Santos on the science of forgiveness. It’s a nice, easy-to-digest piece about forgiveness. Much more can and has been said about forgiveness, but this is a great little thought piece about the concept and how it manifests in our lives. Forgiveness comes up a lot in therapy, and especially in couples therapy. I see this come up quite often, and I have seen how hard it is for patients to forgive either others or themselves. And this is a common aspect of the couples therapy that I do. And I will say— forgiveness is more of an art than actual science.
