In this episode, I interview Dr. Wendy Ulrich, author and therapist, on the subject of forgiving ourselves. We discuss the importance of forgiving ourselves when we make mistakes. Specifically, we discuss:
- What it means to forgive ourselves.
- The ultimate goal of self-forgiveness.
- Why we struggle to forgive ourselves for making mistakes.
- The path to self-forgiveness, including:
1. Clarifying our beliefs
2. Qualifying for forgiveness and grace
3. Overcoming internal obstacles to peace
4. Trusting God
