Join Frank Anderson MD, a lead trainer for the IFS Institute and author of Transcending Trauma and The Internal Family Systems Skills Training Manual, for a 60-minute discussion on "Resilience and Forgiveness."
Resilience
Can the person form meaningful connections?
Can they tolerate uncertainty?
Can they be with difficult emotions?
Are they capable or willing to learn from their difficult moments?
Do they see or value others outside of themselves?
Can they acknowledge their own vulnerability?
Forgiveness
Heal the wound first.
Forgiveness is often suggested prematurely.
Forgiveness is about the person holding the pain, not about the perpetrator.
