Time Heals Some Wounds
Science confirms some traumas heal with time, especially when seeking forgiveness.
“La probabilité de pardonner augmente avec le temps, lorsque la victime s'éloigne de la transgression.”
Time Helps Forgiveness
As time passes, victims are more likely to forgive transgressions, according to research.
“Les participants qui percevaient une épreuve comme étant plus ancienne dans le temps étaient plus enclins à pardonner.”
Forgiveness Requires Effort
Therapists say understanding deep causes and rebuilding trust takes time and professional help.
“Il est important de comprendre les causes profondes de cette trahison et de s'autoriser à reconstruire la confiance.”
Childhood Trauma Stands Out
Childhood violence or abuse makes forgiveness harder, requiring more self-work.
“Les expériences négatives de l'enfance sont liées à une capacité réduite à pardonner.”
