About this listen
Human, Flawed, Forgiven is a transformative guide that explores the complex journey of forgiveness for one's parents. The narrative is structured to help listeners understand that while parents are inherently flawed—as all humans are—holding onto anger and blame is a self-imposed burden that serves no purpose. It emphasizes that forgiveness is a gift one gives to oneself, a crucial step toward healing and building a healthier, happier life.
Through personal anecdotes, psychological insights, and practical advice, Geis navigates the listener through the powerful process of shifting outward blame toward inward responsibility. The book posits that forgiveness is an internal process, one that does not require the participation or even awareness of the person being forgiven. It's a powerful reminder that we have the strength and the right to choose forgiveness at any moment, for our own sake, and to live life to its fullest, free from the past.

"Human, Flawed, Forgiven" by Selma J. Geis tackles the emotionally-charged topic of parental forgiveness with a nuanced and insightful approach. Rather than a simplistic call for absolution, Geis delves into the psychological complexities of letting go of resentment. The book weaves together personal anecdotes, psychological insights, and practical exercises to guide readers through a transformative process of self-compassion and understanding. Geis emphasizes that forgiveness is not about condoning parental actions, but rather a powerful tool for releasing oneself from the burden of anger and bitterness. By acknowledging the hurt inflicted and the limitations of our parents as human beings, the book empowers readers to break free from destructive patterns and build healthier, more fulfilling lives, making "Human, Flawed, Forgiven" a valuable resource for anyone seeking emotional healing and personal growth.
