Forgiveness. Forgiven. Done.
There are many ways to forgive. Yourself, or someone else. You sit and say many things, you think many things or nothing, maybe you tap on your body. Everything you do is a way to bring it into your nervous system. This is one small thing I found for myself, and you can add it to any practice you already have.
Freeze for a moment. Then focus on one word only: forgiveness. It carries a lot of history, memories and connections, and often pain. If nothing had hurt us, we would not need it.
Say it. Forgiveness. Forgiven. It is done, the story has ended.
A thought sometimes wants a full stop you can feel. Open a window, wash your hands, put a cup in the sink. Pick whatever is yours, or skip it, there is no wrong way.
It needs practice, and one minute is enough. Ask your alarm clock or your AI agent to remind you every half hour, until you feel you are done with it: freeze for one minute, one focus. Forgiveness. Forgiven. Done. Nothing else.
This is what works for me. It is not a treatment. If it stirs up more than you can hold, please talk to someone you trust.
