Forgiveness
Where Are You on the Path toward Peace and Healing?
Forgiveness is a healing journey for both body and soul. Yet, even if you know in your heart that you want or need to forgive someone, the path toward peace can be difficult. To move forward, it often helps to have an accurate sense of where you are right now. The following check-up was developed from a longer test created by Susan Wade Brown, Ph.D., as part of her doctoral dissertation in psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, in Pasadena, CA., edited by Robert Enright, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin The full test, designed with therapists in mind, has been used in many scientific studies by experts including Dr. Everett Worthington, creator of the REACH program for forgiveness. Take about five minutes to assess your thoughts, feelings and behaviors related to forgiveness. You may find, as many other have, that simply taking this check-up moves you forward toward peace. Think about the specific person you want to measure your forgiveness toward. Rate each item to the extent that the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors match your own. |
