What role does forgiveness play in the healing process of an individual who has been hurt?

What are some biblical principles or strategies for overcoming bitterness and how can we apply them in practical ways to our everyday lives?

Learn to admit that you are hurt, broken or struggling emotionally. It doesn't mean you are weak, it just means you have decided to let go of it and let God step in.

There is something about verbalizing what you are going through to another person that does wonders that can’t be explained. Although the balance is that when it comes to sharing our personal experiences we must learn to use wisdom.

You have to learn to forgive yourself and move on. Stop punishing yourself for something that no longer exists in the sight of God.

Hebrews 12:15
