forgiveness and letting go of anger

This is from Dr. Hanscom’s TMS healing app, the DOC app. (DOC stands for Direct your Own Care). It’s about forgiveness— something Dr. H promotes for healing. Since starting his app a couple months ago I am definitely feeling my anxiety level go down. This is good news because anxiety creates...

Ongoing anger is an absolute block to moving forward and living a truly enjoyable life. You are stuck to past. As anger is a reflection of higher elevations of stress hormones, sustained levels of them will also make you sick. The list of stress-related diseases is long and they are serious. The...

A lot of my TMS is triggered by being around/thinking about my mother, who was abusive and neglectful towards me growing up. When I am near her, regardless of if we are interacting or are even in the same room, I switch over to a state of fight/flight/freeze which does a number on my body and my...

I know it's a huge part of healing but what if I am not ready to forgive . I tried and all it feels like is resistance from my own feelings. I still need more time to be angry and express this emotion is this wrong and will it slow down my journey?
