Cover Art: "Big" Jim Miller; Program Music: Georgia Sound "Something New" Season 3 Episode 9

When a loss experience leaves us with a deep hurt caused by someone, it can be hard to let go of the pain. In this episode Brian shares the idea of Compassionate Reappraisal; a way of considering the circumstances of the offending party using Difficult Compassion. Toxic, life-limiting anger and heartache can be released, to allow for the peace that comes through forgiveness.
