The person you are hurting most by holding on to your resentment and anger is yourself. Unforgiven offenses eat at you, whether you know it or not, infusing your life with a bitterness that prevents you from finding peace. Essentially, refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Forgiveness is a process, not a set of words or a simple decision.
How to Forgive When You Can't will help you move past your anger, resentment and grudges to have peace of mind. Through clear-cut strategies and compassion-inspiring stories, Dr. Dincalci gives plenty of effective methods to release hurts and upsets for good - even those that seem unforgivable.

This book lays out how to get past the social taboos, emotional defenses and brain mechanisms that keep a person from forgiving. It provides a proven, powerful process that can help heal a lifetime of self-blame, resentment, regret, grudges and guilt. It addresses attaining self-forgiveness and dealing with heavy trauma, tragedy and abuse.

The author provides extensive references to research, case studies, brain studies, and how to maintain gains made.
