Thank you for sharing this... I am also a coach, ICF PCC and also EBC (evidence based coaching) certified. I also go a lot of coaching around wholeness, which is a fundamental theme of biblical salvation. Appreciate you sharing this and hope you don't mind a couple of comments. Forgiveness is intentional and targeted and as you all mentioned, broad stroke forgiveness doesn't really work since it's conceptual and not application. In coaching, we often confront the multiple layers of forgiveness and I try to take a biblical, whole person approach of forgiveness at a heart, mind, body and soul level. For example, the mind can forgive quickly and rationally, but the heart may still be wounded and practices like therapy, emotional processing (4 steps), and so on can really surface the messages and perceptions being what caused the hurt, the body is an amazing messenger that reacts and can inform us of what may be left undone, and soul work, that's a whole other topic. In the forgiveness process, we must pay attention to when dissonances and incongruences surface and be brave enough to thoroughly explore each path and messenger (emotions and body) and even tap into the soul for perspective and truth. Meditation is the most powerful tool for accessing that part of you. Lastly, I do think asking what's in the way of forgiving is important (standard coaching question). For example, in a coaching session recently, someone's incredible compassion conflicted strongly with allowing herself to feel the hurt and trauma inflicted by a relationship. As Dr. Henry Cloud says, compassion DOES NOT equal responsibility, so once she no longer felt responsible for the other person's actions or their possible emotional issues, she was able to grieve and be present in the sadness. Forgiveness also DOES NOT equal permission, forgetting, nor does it make anything someone has done "OK." Lastly, forgiveness is not for the person that harmed us. It is for us... for our own healing and wholeness. Sorry for the long post! Appreciate this topic so much!
