114. Not Broken. Equipped. Still Carrying Past Trauma? PTSD, Guilt & Forgiveness

Do you feel like you’re supposed to forgive and just move on? When PTSD, anxiety symptoms, depression, stress, guilt, or relationship difficulties are already weighing you down, forgiveness can feel like one more thing you’re getting wrong. But forgiveness isn’t forgetting. It isn’t excusing. It isn’t reconciliation. And it doesn’t mean giving someone access to you again. In this episode of Practical Solutions for PTSD, we’re exploring forgiveness as freedom, not obligation. Discover how forgiveness and self-forgiveness can help loosen the grip of resentment, guilt, self-blame, and mental replay while honoring your pain and protecting your boundaries. You don’t have to force forgiveness. You just have to decide what you’re ready to stop carrying.
