Brenda Adelman teaches that there are three steps on "The Path to Forgiveness."
"First, acknowledge that you feel hurt, betrayed, angry. Even if you were not actually physically hurt, the hurt is real because you felt it.
"The second stage is to give up your need to be right. Realize that the need to be right, to feel righteous, is for you; it is not for the other person.
"Third, send love and light and prayers to those who hurt you. It is not necessary to have contact with the person who hurt you. Don't do that unless you can set healthy boundaries."
"You can't forgive until you love yourself."
