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 make distinctions between sexual sin and trauma reenactment as a result of early childhood sexual abuse. I address feelings of shame and use examples from my story to demonstrate how beliefs about sin can keep us trapped in self-condemnation and prevent healing. I share personal insights about agency within mental illness, self-forgiveness, and the healing presence of the Father.

Friends,
In this episode, I am joined by Margaret Schay, a Catholic Mindset Coach and Executive Director of Right to Life of Louisville. Margaret shares her journey of childhood trauma, perinatal loss, and healing through forgiveness. She emphasizes the importance of tuning into your body and embracing parts work, or Internal Family Systems(IFS) therapy to establish inner security and peace. We discuss the concept of Saint Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body, the profound impact of acknowledging our inner world, and how these practices align with Catholic spirituality to foster a life of abundance and healing.

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.

Friends,
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.
