The Healing Power of Forgiveness: A Guide for Empaths and Highly Sensitive People
To forgive yourself is not really forgiving their actions. But really what it was is you were not supporting yourself from the inside out. You were not loving yourself and being that power, mother and father for yourself within yourself, because you are relying- and being what they call codependent- on everything outside of yourself to sustain you, to validate you, to lift you up.
Ever wondered how to truly move past the pain inflicted by a narcissist? Raven Scott has some answers. In this episode of 'Empath And The Narcissist', Raven delves into the five stages of forgiveness specifically tailored for empaths and highly sensitive individuals. Drawing from her own experiences and the wisdom of Human Design, Raven provides a roadmap for those looking to break free from the emotional chains of neglect and abuse.
Forgiveness here isn't just about letting others off the hook; it's about reclaiming your power and self-worth. Raven starts with the first stage: feeling into your heart. She explains that while a narcissist may control your mind, your heart and soul remain your own. The second stage involves connecting with Mother Earth and intuition, offering a grounding force amid emotional turmoil. Acceptance plays a crucial role in the third stage.
Raven talks about viewing triggers as karmic opportunities for healing rather than sources of ongoing pain. Letting go of perfectionism is the fourth stage, where she highlights how this toxic trait often allows narcissists to maintain their grip on you. The journey culminates in the fifth stage, where Raven introduces the Ho' oponopono prayer—a traditional Hawaiian practice for forgiveness and reconciliation. Throughout the episode, Raven shares personal anecdotes and practical advice, making complex concepts accessible and relatable.
Her empathetic approach offers not just insights but also actionable steps for anyone looking to heal from trauma and emotional abuse. This episode is a must-listen for those ready to turn their pain into a stepping stone towards a brighter, more empowered future.
