Forgiveness Is For YOU - Overcome Trauma Through Forgiveness
Are you struggling to forgive yourself? Do you hold a grudge against someone who harmed you physically, emotionally, or mentally? Do you find it hard to forgive the adults in your life who were supposed to protect you, but didn’t? Do you hold resentment against a whole class of people because you’ve been discriminated against? I’VE BEEN THERE. I KNOW. I’m Dr. Carron Silva, Your Forgiveness Guide. As a woman of faith, I’ve spent the last 30 years seeking healing for sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and healing from racial discrimination. What I’ve learned is that therapy could only take me so far. I believe that FORGIVENESS IS THE WAY TO INTERIOR FREEDOM, but we cannot do it alone. We need God, and in particular, Jesus, the Divine Physician, with the love of the Holy Spirit, to help us through a process of forgiveness. On this podcast, I talk about all the things that help you develop a lifelong skill of forgiveness and empower you to forgive yourself, others, and God. As a Certified Wholeness and Catholic Mindset Coach, I help you to navigate emotionally challenging situations, cultivate resilience after trauma, and in a nurturing emotionally safe, empathic, nonjudgmental, confidential coaching relationship. Why wait? Freedom starts now. Here’s what you can do: Connect: Schedule a FREE consultation with me at www.drcarron.com Study: Want to explore forgiveness on your own time before digging deep?

Friends,
In this episode, I challenge the notion that forgiveness is something we should just automatically know and I advocate for the study of forgiveness as a life skill. I delve a little deeper into a poll I conducted about a forgiveness course offering and give a rationale for why it's important to become a student of forgiveness. I explore the benefits forgiveness offers, from improving sleep, aiding weight loss, healing deep emotional wounds, and the connection between unresolved trauma and physical health.
I use personal examples of how forgiveness is a skill we develop over time as we wrestle with ethical issues, most especially when we've experienced emotional or moral injuries within a particular political system.
Please listen, share, write a review on Apple Podcast, but most importantly, if you have someone in your life you need to forgive, connect with me.

In this episode, my guest, Kerri Bishop, shares her story of facing an unexpected and devastating betrayal in her marriage. On Mother's Day 2009, while pregnant with her fifth child, her husband left her, their four boys, and one on the way, leading to a tumultuous period of loss and self-discovery.
Amidst the chaos of losing her home and grappling with her identity, Kerri found solace and direction in her faith. She embarked on a transformative quest, taking on life's challenges and emerging stronger. Her story is a testament to the power of forgiveness, as she learned to forgive herself, her past, and even those who wronged her.

Friends,
In this episode, my husband, Steve Silva, and I delve into the emotional journey of losing a long-standing friendship following the recent election. As we discuss the power and liberation that forgiveness provides, we explore ways to bridge the political divide, especially during the holidays. We share insights on managing emotions and setting boundaries while emphasizing the importance of self-giving and understanding.
We introduce Pope St. John Paul II's 'The Law of the Gift' and how it embodies the essence of selflessness and share how our brains are wired for community.
If you or someone you know struggles with forgiveness, consider buying my '5 Days to Forgiveness' self-guided audio retreat, available at www.drcarron.com at a special holiday price. Together, let’s explore how forgiveness can renew relationships and bring peace into our hearts and homes.

Friends,
*Content warning* In today's episode, Birth Trauma Recovery Coach Brigid Tebaldi and I discuss obstetric violence and the trauma some women experience when giving birth. This topic is not for minor ears and could be triggering for those who have suffered infertility or traumatic births. Please use discretion when listening.
If like me, you’ve never even heard these terms before, it's worth a listen. This information is valuable for both men and women, because you know what? It takes two to tango and two to heal together from the trauma that might have been inflicted.
It may not strike us as anything to be concerned about, but obstetric violence is more common than we think and most women who experience it don't speak up or blame themselves for what happened to them. It's time to lift the veil on birth trauma and obstetric violence, and my guest today does that with much grace.

Friends,
In Episode 50, I interviewed speaker, coach, author, and Master Licenced Clinical Social Worker and Professor Belinda Terro Mooney about her career as an addictions counselor and how she's navigated forgiveness in her own life and with clients. In this second half of the interview, we talk about her Carmelite spirituality and her latest book, Pray with Us, A Saint for Each Day. I introduce the episode with a brief background on the saints and my experience of adapting to the belief in the intercession of saints as a new Catholic believer.
