You don't need to forgive to heal. You need to release.
They tell you "forgive and forget." "Let it go." "Holding onto anger only hurts you."
But here's the truth: Forced forgiveness is spiritual bypassing. You can't forgive someone who hasn't earned it. You can't "let go" of pain you haven't fully felt.
Healing doesn't require forgiveness. It requires RELEASE. Releasing the hold that person has over your energy. Releasing the expectation that they'll ever understand what they did. Releasing the hope that the past will be different.
You can heal without forgiving. And that's perfectly okay.
