How do I forgive physical abuse and be more loving with myself?
Question:Deari Dr. Orloff,
How do I forgive myself and my father for physically abusing me--he told me that I was bad...so I have internalized this belief in my body as well with that thought. Anger has lodged inside of me. And I have blamed and shamed myself because I felt I wasn't good enough to be validated for my feelings of acceptance.
Thank you,
Dalia

Answer: Dear Dalia,
In Emotional Freedom, I emphasize how important it is to view everything that happens to us from the standpoint of spiritual lessons that can help us grow more heart centered and strong. Most important, you must practice self-compassion because you have not done anything wrong. Click on the link to read how to forgive an abuser.
