Premature Forgiveness Is Self-Violence

# Premature Forgiveness Is Self-Violence Forgiving before you've fully felt the harm doesn't heal you. It buries the wound deeper.

Your body knows the difference between genuine release and performed resolution. There's a particular kind of violence that masquerades as spiritual maturity. It looks like grace.

It sounds like wisdom. It performs beautifully in therapy sessions and spiritual circles. And it's destroying people from the inside out. It's called premature forgiveness.

And if you've ever forced yourself to forgive someone before you were ready - before you'd fully felt the rage, the grief, the terror, the betrayal - you've done it to yourself.
