How do you cope with feeling hurt and resentment when you know the person who hurt you didn’t mean to?
When someone calls you repeated harm out of ignorance and lack of consideration, but they didn’t mean it maliciously or intend to harm you how can you work through the feelings of hurt and resentment? I’m trying to reframe from a perspective of forgiveness and understanding that they had no malicious intent, but no matter how hard I try I still feel this way and I can no longer be around them because they do not feel emotionally safe. Like I’m thinking about trying somatic therapy because these feelings and wounds live in my body at this point, but I’m just having a hard time coming to a place of acceptance and forgiveness. Do I just need time and distance and am I just rushing myself? Any advice is appreciated.
