The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Forgiveness is Freedom

Ep #10: Forgiveness is Freedom

November 10, 2021

When my clients come to me, a lot of them are struggling with the aftermath of toxic friendships, relationships, and old wounds. I often see a pattern of toxic relationships that stems from their childhood: raised by either narcissists or substance abusers. And as adults, this leads to overcompensation, people pleasing, and overthinking. But what can we do about it?

The truth is, this happens to the most successful people in our society too. They may have overcome a hardship from their childhood, but it still manifests in their adult life physically as well as mentally. And this pattern is destined to repeat itself if we don’t do the work to change it. So this week, I’m sharing how you can start to take your power back.

Tune in this week to discover the gift of forgiveness. I’m discussing why forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness, like you’re giving your power away. It’s the opposite. Forgiveness will take back the power that you have given your oppressor, and I’m giving you practical tips to start a forgiveness practice right now.

If you want to learn more tips for managing your stress and your overthinking brain, I highly recommend signing up for my weekly newsletter here!
