By separating the hurtful actions from the person who committed them, individuals can focus on healing themselves rather than carrying the burden of resentment towards the individual.

This shift in perspective allows for a deeper understanding that forgiveness isn't condoning or forgetting the offense, but rather a personal choice to let go of the negative emotions associated with it.

Through this separation, victims can reclaim their power, find peace within, and embark on a path of healing and growth.
