to six p M Rachel Hollis, and this is my podcast
spend so many hours of every single week reading and listened podcast and watching Youtube videos and trying to find out as much as I can about the world around me and that's what we do on their show. We talk about everything lie
and how to be an entrepreneur. What happened dinosaurs? What's the best recipe for fried chicken? What's the best plan for intermittent fasting
Going on with our inner child house therapy working out for you,
However, it is my guests are into. I want to unpack it so that we can all understand the
our conversations. This is
information for the curious. This is the Rachel Hollis,
not cast, and that is where I got today's question, which is about forgiveness. We are going to talk about.
forgiveness and then there's an old expression like forgiven forget, and what does that mean- and I am
gene is, I want to be like so then for you guys and so evolved as a human being that I tell you that our goal today is to make ourselves like so at peace and so centred that the things people do don't affect us
That's all some. I wish I was that girl, I'm not there yet, maybe in twenty more years. What I want to talk about when it comes to forgiveness, is how you can really move past people who have hurt you and in some
Hey says that means moving past and not interacting creating boundary so that you won't be her
can and in other instances that means that you learn to forgive so that you can grow stronger in your relationship, and you know your relationship with your mom and it gets better ones, are able to forgive her four things.
happen in your childhood, or maybe your wife has hurt you and you need to be able to forgive her for things that have happened,
your best friend or whatever, but that's the conversation today. It's not from I owe nothing should affect you or make your emotional, because I dont know how to live life. That way, I get my feelings her pretty easily and I work on it a lot and the reason forgiveness matters for me, as it pertains to us, is that you holding
on that anger that bitterness that hatred that fear that anxiety, any sort of negative emotion that you are holding onto because you have been hurt by this person is hurting you that's why it matters that energy that is being expanded to make sure that
you can hold space for all these negative emotions that you fill and key.
Believing your life is just such a waste. So that's why
we are going to talk about it today, but specifically where it has talked about it, because I got this voice smell from a listener named
Ella Heritage, many of I refer you, then you need to go beyond about issues I with my mother
I'm really struggling you're. My life had whispered, give me forgiveness, new art through me, especially for people who have brought me in illegal to really tough times. When I know you boss, who come here a lot, a tough time of his parents were, with other people,
just how you were come, died and stopping angry and forget something really been struggling with, fell
can I will not really answered? I am not a pig's ear, the love you buy on instruments, I Ella thing
you so much for calling in. I know it's not an easy topic. I appreciate these him
at the end on Instagram. I will tell you guys I I get so many thousands and thousands of dams
Pretty often, I am not able to respond
everybody. If I go onto instagram at all, that's what I'm doing there. I I dont post very much, but I do try and go in and interact with your and just cause they're, so many I can't get to them. So there's a good chance. I don't even see them, but there are far fewer people who are leaving voice mouse on the hotline. So it's an easier way too.
me to respond to something that you're wondering. So I love this topic, any sort of chuckled when I heard it today because I always feel like
The universe is forever nudging me in the direction that I meant to go and this
the topic is a really good one
now, because I have been her
Someone who's hurt me a lot in the past and I've just fine
now a lot more information about this person. That is deeply hurtful because
it means there is even more that happened in the past that I didn't know about, and so I'm just grappling with all of these fields
things and their feelings of anger and disappointment, and frustration and sadness that I thought had pass like. I thought we were pass this and it turns out. Man is like still.
Staff can come up that you're like dang it I thought I had moved on, but that is still there and it still hitting me. It's still knocking me sideways. So this is a really good conversation for me today, because it something I'm actively working on in my life
and the really important place to start with Ella is to understand that, for giving some one is for you, forgiveness is theirs, is old, quote that Armenia? I can't remember who said it but did something like for giving some.
one is being freed from prison, and then realising that you were the prisoner. I just butchered that quote, but
actually the idea is that you
holding these negative emotions and you're the one who's suffering, and
Sometimes we hold onto these negative emotions, and we suffer for years DEC
it's your. I know that I am not the only one right now in this conversation
and between mean you who still upset about things that happened in our childhood things that our parents did.
Things that are siblings, dead or things that the mean girls in school did that work.
Still holding onto or that something will you be
going through your day and your buenote forty seven years old and someone will say something and it'll trigger a feeling that you associate with being in seventh grade and someone bullying you. We still have a lot of bees, negative feelings inside of us, and I think there is this perception that forgiveness means that they amusing our quotes, whoever they is for you that day, get away with it that, if you forget
This person, then it's like. Oh, will they did this really bad thing in some instances they created trauma or really intense pain, and maybe sometimes it did at more than once, and that, if you forgive them
That you're saying that it was ok, so I thought we'd start there, because with interesting ya know, I love a definition. I love the meaning of words, and so I looked up the definition of forgiveness and I was actually surprised by what it said to forgive is to stop feeling angry or resentful towards some one for an offence flaw or mistake to stop feeling angrier resentful toward someone for an offence flaw or mistake,
That means that forgiveness, first of all, if you are forgiving someone, then you are acknowledging that what they did was wrong. Let us hold space for that for one second, just the act of forgiving someone
means that you are acknowledging that they did something wrong you're
letting go you're not like ignoring it. You're, not. You should have pushed
under the rug. All
we're doing is saying, I am no longer going to feel angrier resentful towards you about this. So just the active forgiveness
already acknowledging wrongdoing and then the second part of that that really surprised me was that to forgive is just.
Saying I'm no longer going to let this make me feel badly. I know
longer going to let your actions caused me to suffer because
make no mistake if you're feeling anger, resentment, frustration, sadness, anxiety, any of those things you are in a state of suffering.
You are in a state of suffering brought on by someone else's actions, but you're still feeling
pain for it. So what I want us all to get in our heads right now is forgiveness is not permission. Forgiveness is saying,
I'm no longer going to allow your action to make me feel badly. Let's start right there now before we go further into the active actually putting them into practice, not just saying that you're gonna forgive someone but actually putting it into practice. I do want to ask us to compartmentalize today or to kind of break this into parts, because there are two types.
Of forgiving. I think there is a forgiving that says I am in a relationship with you, whether that a friendship apart
Shep, a marriage, a romantic relationship, apparent child relationship, any kind of relationship. So there's I'm in a relationship with you and
I want us to still be in our relationship,
and I want our relationship to possibly grow stronger or
Maybe I just wanted to be maintained for what it is, but I don't want that relationship to be negatively affected by what has happened, and so I am choosing to forgive that is option. One option to is I
in a relationship with you, whatever kind it is, and I need to forgive you, but I all
no need to hold boundaries in place so that this does not happen again.
In that second scenario,
you are not going to have the same kind of relationship going forward or you're, not gonna have any kind of relationship going forward, because what they have done has passed the point where it is appropriate to still be in some kind of relationship with them. So there are two things here and I think
Again, when we talk about forgiveness, we tend to only think of the option where were forgiving, someone but staying inside of relationship, and it is also possible to forgive someone for yourself so that you have that freedom but say I forgive you but the tree,
has been broken and me holding my value, for myself means
I'm no longer going to interact with you, because that's not healthy for me
Maybe you can decide what the answer to that is, but I do want to say that being family
with some one is not enough reason for me to believe that
we're gonna be in a relationship, no matter what I absolutely dont believe that, and I think that, if you do believe that either you
have family members that are as toxic as some of my family members or
you maybe do have family that that toxic. But it's never occurred to you that you are not required to do life with people who hurt you repeatedly. So only you can decide what the situation is, but just know that the forgiveness is for you and then you get to decide what the relationship looks like from there. So I guess the first question to ask yourself is what we're hoping to get out of this scenario. So I'm first going to guide you guys through what I think, the processes for forgiveness and working on it like still being in a relationship and then what the processes for forgiving
in removing someone from your life. I think, like all things to really forgive, you have to have a strong enough. Why? Because there's a reason Ella
you're. Holding on to this anger. For so long that
Anger is serving you in some way or you wouldn't do it
anger is serving as a protective mechanism.
Maybe maybe makes you feel safe or maybe it keeps,
alert like oh, I fine Ino up five maintain my anger than they can't do this to me again or Udall.
I want them to get away with it or that anger is actually your fear. That's manifesting your China manifested in a stronger emotion, but you wouldn't be holding on to
if it didn't serve you in some way. So the only way you're gonna get past. It is to have a why that strong enough, for instance, I have had to work a lot
on my anger toward my ex husband.
I've had to work a lot on anger. Disappointment fear, like all the things.
for two years or seven years. Everyone a look at it, but if I
did not have children, then I
would just be like fuck, that guy
And I would never interact with him again that touches the freaking truth:
That is absolutely the truth, but I do have for children, which means that for
the rest of my life. I am tied to this person and now
only that I don't want my kids to have to deal with some of the stuff that I dealt with when my parents got divorced. I don't want my kids to feel
awkward at a birthday or at a holiday, because they can feel that tension
I don't want that for my children and so again and again and again I have,
really worked on how to forgive- and there are just so many offered for that and there continue to be operating. It is for that and I'll tell you that one of the best practices I know and its socks, especially if you're angry and especially if the hurt feels pretty raw, is a gratitude practice for the person
he's hurt you which is freakin brood all, but so much or an I personally, don't wanna do it, but I do want to make decisions that are the best for my children. So that's my why Ella that's the! Why that I can come
how to even when I don't feel like it, I'm like SS guy and then I'm like wait. No, okay, that's not going to serve you and that's not going to serve the babies, and so we're going to grad to practice.
we're going to think of good memories or we're going to stink of these children in the fact that you couldn't have made them without this person and we're going to focus on that and the good parts of this person instead of dwelling in,
negative, and that will really help me come back again and again and if nothing else, it helps me to rise above
so there are scenarios where
it is not healthy to interact outside of the children, but if I can focus on gratitude for this person and challenge myself when I think of him to send him light and sent him love on behalf of what he held.
Me to create in these enough this beautiful family that allows me to walk.
shhh away any anger that I'm holding and what's interesting
is that I will tell you that the anger
some are going to really get this, whether its apparent a best friend a partner annex the anger
really is equal to anger. At myself like
I will feel angry at him.
Relay the anger is toward myself, because, if I live
unpacking and dig it up
anger is, I can't believe you are here again.
I can't believe you, let yourself be her again. I can't believe you fell for this again. I can't believe fill in the book
And I know some of you have a similar scenario with I've experiences with my parents before, certainly where
you know, unlike we're, trying to sort of be like, let's be,
family and, let's, like you know, whatever
you go hang out and then they do the stuff that they did to you when you were little or they say things that make you feel uncomfortable or
And then you're like, I can't believe I fell for it again or I think you're sort of little
we're a heart is leg. I can't believe that I believed in you again. That's what's
brutal is that you believed again, and so not only are you holding the pain of what
happen, but then you're holding the disappointment of wishing that this time it was gonna, be different. So, in the instances worse,
one has continually hurt me, I have had to make a choice.
We would only have the most basic, whatever the most basic of interactions were in order for me to hold boundaries in place like in those instances where you can't just cut someone out completely like you know your kids, mother, your kids father.
In instances where I've had friendships or
I've had family members where there is
the way forward. Number
One is
allowing yourself to feel the feelings allowing yourself to feel the negative feelings to feel the grief to fill the sadness.
to feel that, knowing that the intent is to feel those feeling, so you can let it go, because I think that one of the most dangerous things you can do when you ve been her is pretend that you have it and what's interesting, is that in order for you to process you're hurt you have to
very safe. To do that. I didn't know that, honestly until I met my current boyfriend
like I didn't know that the
One of the most powerful signs of intimacy, I think, of a strong, healthy, intimate relationship is that you feel safe to process your her and your anger
with your partner having come from our relationship where that didn't feel as possible for a myriad of,
reasons I didn't even know that I didn't do that. So when you know you first
It's a gathering you're in a relationship and it's like lovey dovey and everything so great and then you're together long enough for something happened. Something hurts your feelings or something makes you angry. I would shut down like completely shut down and if we both you know, he travels a ton for work or if I was uptown or whatever, if I would just would have stopped communicating or if we were even in the same city or even in the same house.
I would just emotionally shutdown I'd go poor myself into work or I'd go on IRAN. I do something where I win interacting
I didn't even know that that was.
Wronger unhealthy, because that's how I had dealt with those emotions for so long and
He would really challenge me
when he realized, when I was doing of, he was just like. If I piss you off like tell me that I piss you off
You are setting me up for absolute failure, because
You won't tell me what you're upset about
so I don't even know that I've done something or I don't know what I've done. I just know that all the sudden, like the lights, go out in your eyes, so he's a you just need to tell me and it's the craziest thing I ever do work so hard on telling him in real time, because I was so used to processing everything myself and then coming to a conclusion that you
like wonder, which is, why does this need to be so dramatic and big and drawn out like country to say, like hey man, when you said the thing it piss me off,
or when you said this thing error my feelings and though we
talk about it, and then we can move past it and it would be done in eight minutes instead of two days.
and that had never occurred to me because
I never have experience that you could tell someone that you were upset, or,
they feelings or her and not have it blew up and become something crazier because of my childhood or because of my marriage, and so I had to really practice that and is still kind of scares me
sometimes, but it didn t even know. That was a thing
and I realize now it's it's a good one for you guys.
Firstly, if you're in a newer relationship to understand that that's intimacy
that's a really healthy thing. If you can honestly talked about the way that you're feeling, even if what you're gonna say, might hurt, it might hurt your partner to here, that's intimacy. I think this
and friendships too. We were a we're out to dinner on a double date with samian beans, and we were talking about.
this idea of having friends that are close enough, that
you're willing to hold space for.
Then being disappointed in you and beans, his
story about one of her friends who so good,
about knowing
he needs and knowing the boundaries that he needs. So, for instance, like he's the king of cancelling plans at the last minute. So let's say he told you he was come into your birthday party and then at the last
you. Just you know, he's an interval and he's overwhelmed any like. I can't go, and so she was saying he's such a good friend
because he knows that he's gonna, disappoint you so that he doesn't disappoint himself.
And in the disappointing you he's willing to hold space for
hey. I normally freshening you right now. I know that this is disappointing. So let's get go. Let's talk about x, I want a process that with you
not in a way that excuses what I've done but allows you to vent your frustration, I mean that's a breaking mature friendship, instead of just like behind the scenes being penalised and talking crap about your friends, your other friends or your mama, or your sister or whatever. So that was a huge thing for me to understand that you need to feel safe to really feel
oh, how you're feeling! So, if the only emotion you can feel about the hurt is anger, that's because the anger,
is how you're processing mess, because anger is safe,
you think about it, like being angry, is still being in control being heard,
disappointed or scared or anxious those are weaker feeling emotions for us so having the courage to actually have your feelings, her and trust that your inner relationship relationship with someone who won't use that against you is big. But if this is the kind of relationship that's going to move forward and that's going to evolve from this, you have to be willing and able to process correctly, so feel the feelings for certain amount of time. We're not talk in the next twelve years and then work on letting it go. I was talking to a therapist once and she told me
this story about boundaries that I think is really powerful in this instance, because sometimes we ve been hurt and we still want the person to be in our life.
But we know instinctively that it can't be what it was that we can't go back to the intimacy we had or to the closeness we had at least maybe not yet maybe trust has been her and they need to earn back that trust, and she said I want you to imagine that you are
on a dark bored? So if you think of a dark board, you got that Bullseye in the centre and then there's those circles going out each each layers a different color, and she said
closer. We are to someone in relationship the key
Sir, we are the closer they stand on the Dark Board to the bulls I might like
therein the hundred point circle or
maybe they're in the seventy five are there in the fifty. But she said every time someone hurts you. They get pushed out a ring right. They get pushed out alive.
Their further away from the balls I and sometimes someone does something so heinous did they get push completely off the board, or sometimes they keep doing things nothing's big enough to push them over the edge, but each one pushes them further and further and further until their off the board. But essentially the level of intimacy and safety that you can have with someone is directly
proportionate to where they stand on your board. If you're trying to have an intimate relationship with someone who's on the outer ring,
it's never gonna work. If you
who are in a marriage with someone who's on the outer ring you're in trouble,
incidentally, the only person that's allowed in the centre, the only person that can be in the bulls- I is you and God nobody else can be in the centre of who
You are, except for you and your creator, but people can be very close by
that requires a level of intimacy and trust that doesn't exist when they ve hurt you now you can be on a further.
king of the Dark Board and work your way back, but that is an active choice that someone else is making to earn back your trust and it's an active choice that you make to allow them to earn back your trust, one of the most horrible things that couples do
Is have a situation where, let's say you're in a relationship and your partner, cheats on you and then you say that you
forgiven them, and you want to work on it, but every single time anything comes up,
like a well for years ago, a rumour those text messages. I found on your phone like you just
he bringing it up again and again and again, and there actually trying to restore try,
they're trying to work on the relationship, but they don't stand a chance, in that instance, you're holding onto your anger but you're, also using the relationship to punish
in your heart of hearts. You have no real desire to truly forgive
you want
to have a relationship with them so that you can
find a way to get revenge.
and your revenge is slow. We one you know better than time: there's lots of couples who come back from infidelity and her lots of cup
do they come back in their stronger and their better and they
really happy life's together, but I promise you that that doesn't happen when you're still,
holding on to what was the good question to ask yourself if you are with someone that you ve said you're gonna forget, but you bring up the hurt. They did
at every opportunity to me at some point. Then you become just as toxic and
Horrible to them, as they were to you, you become,
mean the very thing that you hate think about it
If you really want to be with someone and if you really want to work on it then do, but do it truthfully and authentically to the best of your ability. Now there are certainly times where the forgiveness is it like. It is an easy and coming.
because what they ve done, isn't something that you want to be in a relationship with, and in that instance,
I really sometimes p
we'll do something and you're like cold Turkey like cut off no problem, you just don't interact anymore, but there
people on our life, especially if they ve been in your life for a long time or maybe their family member. They ve been there your whole life, where it is so easy to fall into bad patterns, because you ve been in bad patterns with that person so many times before
I m really good at I'm not.
good years that there be don't worry I'll, keep going, I'm not as good with the people like
with family members or my axe, where I should have been programmed a certain way where I ve done something for so long is very hard to rewrite that narrative, but I will say, with new or friends: newer, acquaintances, business acquaintances. I do like, if you,
show me your true colours. We're done and I won't hold anger about it and I won't I'll never talk about
you all never none of it
It is an immediate thing for me, like I will.
block your number in my phone. We're done, because I think that there are people who do something that shows such a lack of character
that it doesn't matter to me if you are genuinely sorry for what you ve done. I don't want someone with that lack of character and my life, like I'm so free.
blast. Have amazing friends, I'm an amazing boyfriend to have so much goodness here. Why
why on earth would I have people in my circle who would show such a lack of character? I just it's not I'm not in
said and in the industry. I man, a lot of people will continue to be friends to be acquaintances, to be business partners with anyone, even a fairer horrible people, because they want that connection or
they want. You know that person's instrumental they want what that person has so they'll sort of stay in relationship with people who are good, and I just is oh my. It makes my skin crawl
And I think if you ve been in my life, have you been with me for a long time? There have been times. I was really good friends with people, because I didn't know their true character and when its show.
it's done, and there's never hot lead on care how
powerful. They are unclear care. What access they can give me, because I just think you guys that that stuff rubs off on us, like you, should want to be friends with the barrister and the cool second grade teacher and the right
in club down at the park like the real people who have integrity and character,
it should be more important to all of us, then some
HU as a lot of flowers on social media or someone who can get you access to the cool party or it's like the same advice. I would give my kids
if someone shows you who they are believe them and forgive
them for you and let go of it for you
there is no nowhere. Is it written that you need to keep trying to make something work just because it worked before
like, I'm always amaze. I get a lot of questions from women asking like. Oh, I have this friend and she so toxic.
and every time a hang out with her makes me sick again or I have this friend and when I hang out with her, I become gossipy in me in, and I hate my it's like. What are you doing? Why do you keep interacting with someone who's hurting you? Why do you keep interacting with someone who's, making you a worse version of yourself, there's so much goodness in this world there. So many good people better one good friend of character than a hundred pieces of crap. Just so you can say
hundred friends what a waste yeah when it's, when it's time when someone shows you who they are yeah, believe it
On the same token, when someone is genuinely sorry and they are working on making it right believe that too
because we are humans, we fail, we fall, we mess up and if you can see something from someone else's perspective, you
and understand a bit more why they might make the mistakes they make. It is very helpful to put myself in the position of people
