Hello Anita, Thank you for the warm welcome, although I would apologize as it seems I truly didn’t offer clarity.

With respect to not allowing forgiveness to affect one physically, I certainly did not mean to imply that it would erase any of the physical scars of trauma.

Rather the physical effects caused by the emotional, mental and spiritual toll that holding on to anger, resentments and hate can have on our bodies. Anxiety, depression, increased heart rate, appetite loss, chronic pain, sleep loss and many other negative health outcomes can result from these negative emotions, especially when they are held long term.

At least that is my understanding, I am not a medical doctor and so please understand that.
