RRD Principle 6

Detachment means forgiveness, not forgetfulness. Forgiveness can empower me to seek and search for ways to detach from my past and move forward with my life. There will be a discussion on how to forgive and what to do with wounds of bitterness. Forgiveness is separate from reconciliation. Reconciliation if pursued too quickly, may cause a repeat of old patterns of dominance and manipulation. Reconciliation needs to be cautious and careful or may allow repetitive abuse.
