====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================06 DE MAYOLA CIENCIA DEL PERDÓN«No juzguen, y no se les juzgará. No condenen, y no se les condenará. Perdonen, y se les perdonará» (Luc. 6:37).En ocasiones, la ciencia arroja luz sobre cómo llevar a la práctica algunos principios del evangelio. Por ejemplo, la Biblia indica que debemos perdonar, pero no cómo lograrlo paso a paso. Cuando se trata de perdonar experiencias difíciles, lograrlo puede ser tan difícil como lo fue la experiencia misma. Por eso no hacemos mal en echar un vistazo a la ciencia del perdón, para descubrir qué hacer para aprender a perdonar.Everett Worthington,* estudioso de la religión y la espiritualidad en la práctica de la psicología clínica, habla de cinco pasos para el perdón. Él tuvo que experimentarlos personalmente cuando decidió perdonar, primero, al hombre que había violado y asesinado a su madre; y posteriormente a sí mismo por no haberse dado cuenta, siendo psicólogo, de que su hermano tenía depresión, la cual lo condujo al suicidio. Para Worthington, el camino al perdón implica:1. «Recordar el daño lo más objetivamente posible». Esto es duro, porque tendemos a ver al ofensor como un monstruo y a ponerle etiquetas: «es un», «es una»... Pero la naturaleza humana es más abarcante que un adjetivo; no podemos reducir a una persona a un juicio de valor. Ser honestas con lo sucedido, sin negarlo ni evadirlo, es crucial para aceptar el dolor y empezar a sanarlo.2. «Empatizar: intentar ponerte en el lugar de tu ofensor». Tras haber reconocido la complejidad humana, resulta más sencillo entender al otro en la complejidad de su vida. Esto no significa excusar el mal que nos hizo, sino intentar comprender sus porqués más allá de nuestro dolor. Comprender no significa restarle importancia a lo sucedido; significa ponernos en los zapatos del otro.3. «Ser altruista, para darle al ofensor el regalo del perdón». Debemos comprender que el perdón ofrecido al infractor se basa en la gratitud que sentimos por haber recibido perdón de otras personas en el pasado. En el caso del cristiano, nuestra base para dar este difícil paso es el perdón que recibimos de Dios en Cristo.4. Comprometerse públicamente. Contarle a alguien (un pastor, un consejero de confianza, una amiga íntima, nuestra madre) que hemos decidido perdonar.5. Mantener el perdón. Sabemos que las emociones fluctúan, y por eso le hemos contado a alguien nuestra decisión de perdonar, para que nos la recuerde cuando nuestras fuerzas flaqueen. Con esa ayuda, y con la fuerza que Dios nos da, mantengamos la decisión de perdonar.«Las personas con resentimiento se mueren antes». Everett Worthington.* Forgiving and Reconciling (Illinois: InterVarsity, 2003). 

It's no secret that people who have been betrayed often have a hard time forgiving the person who betrayed them. Resistance to "letting them off the hook" is understandable. In this illuminative conversation with Professor Everette Worthington, we learn the science and research behind forgiveness - what it is, how to do it, and why it matters for our health and wellbeing.  Everett Worthington is Commonwealth Professor Emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University. Ev (which he prefers to be called) notes that his salary is retired but he isn't. He still maintains a license as a Clinical Psychologist in Virginia, and he has published over 45 books and 500 scholarly publications. Currently, he is completing a couple of books (self-forgiveness and couple therapy), and he usually publishes about 20 articles a year, mostly related to forgiveness, humility, and other positive psychology topics. He says that his life mission is "to do all I can to promote forgiveness in every willing heart, home, and homeland."   Website: evworthington-forgiveness.com Free workbooks: reach.discoverforgiveness.org

In today's episode of Couch Time, I'm sharing a replay of one of my favorite episodes. In this episode, I did something a little different.  It was inspired by a book written by Everett Worthington called Hope-Focused Marriage. I have used these suggestions many times in my counseling sessions with married couples so I hope you enjoy!    Topics covered in this episode include: C- Change actions to positive.  What is something that is negative that you could change to positive? L- Loving romance- Try to show romance again.  What did you do at the beginning of your relationship? E- Employ a calendar- Rearrange your calendar and add in positive events that bring back time together.  A- Adjust intimacy elsewhere- Husbands and wives have different levels of intimacy. Figure out what level you need.  V- Value your partner- Valuing love builds intimacy.  When we feel valued, we feel closer to the one who loves us.  E- Enjoy yourself sexually- learn to communicate better in the bedroom   This episode is short and sweet, but value-packed, so I hope you tune in.     Show notes available at http://amywine.com/episode66   Resources Mentioned: Get a copy of the Hope Focused Marriage book: https://www.amazon.com/Hope-Focused-Marriage-Counseling-Guide-Therapy/dp/0830827641/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1D1VMH6TL2X5Q&keywords=hopefocused+marriage+counseling&qid=1571789298&sprefix=hope+focus%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-3 I would love to connect on Facebook: http://facebook.com/amywineco and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amywineco!

Something that is fundamental to living a fulfilled life that is rooted in joy and the full expression of our highest Self, unhindered by pain and regret, is our capacity to forgive. Others and also ourselves. When we are filled with loathing, blame, shame and condemnation, whether focused outward or inward, it cuts us off from living a life of freedom, connectedness and abundance. However, in many cases being able to forgive is not something you can simply decide on and then switch on. True forgiveness is complex, it can not be forced. But, it can be nurtured and grown.Our guest today is the world's leading expert on the scientific study of forgiveness. Dr. Everett Worthington knows forgiveness. He is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University and has done clinical studies on forgiveness for over 40 years. And he has lived it, forgiving the man who murdered his mother.Dr. Worthington has published over 400 scholarly articles and 37 books on what forgiveness is and how we can become forgiving people, what the substantial cost of 'unforgiveness" is and what the profound positive effects of forgiveness are.In 2001, Dr. Worthington developed the REACH Forgiveness Practice, a method that has been tested in more than 20 controlled scientific studies and which has helped thousands of people around the world, including himself, reap the mental and physical benefits of forgiveness and heal from emotional trauma.In this conversation with Dr. Worthington, you'll discover:-Forgiveness defined in various ways...03:20-What is the current state in the science of forgiveness...05:05-Four compelling reasons to forgive...08:00-Five steps to decisional, leading to emotional, forgiveness...11:45RecallEmpathizeAltruismCommitHold on-How Dr. Worthington was forced to put his teachings on forgiveness to the ultimate test...16:16-The difference between forgiveness and acceptance...27:10-How faith informs a practice of forgiveness vs. a secular mindset...32:22-The most astounding things learned in the practice of studying forgiveness...35:40-How the cycle of retribution ceases, even in the midst of horrific injustice...41:02-Is it harder to forgive one's self, or others who have wronged us?...43:21-How do we ask for forgiveness of those who we know we have wronged?...49:10-Is there anything that is unforgivable?...54:00-Dr. Worthington's best personal practice...56:30-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Worthington's websiteMoving Forward: Six Steps to Forgiving Yourself and Breaking Free from the PastForgiving and Reconciling: Bridges to Wholeness and Hope

When your soul is feeling destroyed because the person who vowed to be with you for a lifetime has ended the relationship, the thought of forgiveness can seem like a far off dream. But for our own healing, forgiveness is something that we must find. How do we do this when we are full of rage, anger, sadness? In today's episode Dale is joined by Dr. Everett Worthington, a psychologist and foremost expert in the field of forgiveness. Bible Passage Inspiration: Matthew 23-35, The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant Resources:http://www.evworthington-forgiveness.com

Getting offended is inevitable, and it's a natural response to words or anything that hurts us. However, we can't live a life holding grudges, this will significantly impact our physical and mental health. Forgiveness may seem hard but it is the key to a peaceful state of mind, this can be done by acknowledging our emotions and identifying what needs to be healed. Forgiveness will help us to release negative emotions (e.g. hate, anger, resentment, and bitterness) and replace them with more peaceful emotions.  In this episode of Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, host Tia Harmer is joined by Everett Worthington Jr. Everett is a Commonwealth Professor Emeritus working in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. He is a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia and has published over 45 books, 500+ articles, and scholarly chapters, mostly on forgiveness, humility and positive psychology, as well as marriage and family topics, religion and spirituality. Everett has developed the REACH Forgiveness model that is being tested currently in global grant-funded randomized controlled trials in 5 countries, and has developed numerous other positive psychological interventions. The conversation started by discussing the two models of forgiveness, decisional forgiveness and emotional forgiveness, and how forgiveness can let out negative emotions within ourselves. He also shared his forgiveness practices that we can do in our daily lives.  Follow Everett's work via https://www.evworthington-forgiveness.com/ for free resources Produced by the Personal Resilience Science Labs, a division of LMSL, the Life Management Science Labs.  Explore LMSL at https://lifemanagementsciencelabs.com/ and visit http://pr.lmsl.net/ for additional information about Personal Resilience Science Labs.

What is positive psychology, and what does the study of positive psychology tell us about how we should live our lives? The study of positive psychology concerns both the psychology of happiness and subjective well-being, and the psychology of virtue or character strength. With the study of positive psychology comes the importance of forgiveness, optimism, and hope.  In this episode of the Muslim Superdad & Wondermom podcast, we are joined by Dr. Everett Worthington, a pioneer in the field of positive psychology and the author of numerous books on humility, forgiveness, and child-rearing. Dr. Worthington talks about his lifelong study of positive psychology and discusses the benefits of being optimistic, the power of hope, and the value of learning to forgive.

When we regret our past, it can feel like we're incapable of changing our future. But it may be our past “mistakes” that help us realize there is room to evolve.  In the finale episode of How to Start Over, we explore how regret can be a catalyst of change, what holds us back from self-forgiveness, and how to reconcile our past mistakes—and move forward for good. Conversations with Shai Davidai, an assistant professor at the Columbia Business School, and forgiveness expert Everett Worthington help us identify whether regret hinders our growth or serves as a catalyst of change.

Summary of ColossiansThis letter is written to a young church: The Apostle Paul writes this letter from prison to a young church in the city of Colossae that they may grow in “maturity to Christ” (1:28), despite the cultural pressures that they were experiencing.Christ began a new Kingdom: The foundation for resisting cultural pressure is recognizing we have been saved from ourselves and are now citizens of a new Kingdom– established in Christ. (1:13;1:15-20;3:1)Spiritual maturity is learning to live in that new Kingdom: Paul believes that learning to live in the Kingdom of Jesus transforms every aspect of our lives.Pentecost Sunday is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of the church. It comes after Easter as it specifically celebrates and remembers Acts 2. First, Paul says, the Church community should be rooted in Christ.In John 1, Christ is described as the word or the logos. “[W]ords spoken by Jesus, words spoken about Jesus, and Jesus himself dwell in you richly.” – Scot McKnightSecond, Paul says, the church community should hold one another accountable. Paul here is emphasizing that Church is a responsibility shared by all who claim to be a part of that community.Paul says Church holds one another accountable.Thirdly, Paul says the Church community should sings songs of thankfulness. “[P]art of a life of thankfulness that overflows into song.” – N.T. Wright Similar to the early Christian community, as a church we gather week in and week out around simple songs, a psalter reading, and the doxology hymn. And part of engaging in Church is showing up, singing songs, and thus rooting yourself in Christ. And Paul says this is what the church should look like: a community rooted in Christ, in which we are held accountable to one another, and we sing songs of thankfulness. In order to be in this type of community, with people that will inevitably hurt us, we have to practice an abundance of forgiveness. “It is important to think about the Church not as “over there” but as a community of struggling, weak people of whom we are part and in whom we meet our Lord and Redeemer.” – Henri Nouwen “if one has a complaint against another, forgive each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.” – Colossians 3:13“A community has hope of holding together and growing together when the need for forgiveness is recognized on each side where the fault has been committed.” – James Dunn“First, it is utterly inappropriate for one who knows the joy and release of being forgiven to refuse to share that blessing with another. Second, it is highly presumptuous to refuse to forgive one whom Christ himself has already forgiven.” –NT WrightSo Paul says, when the messy community of Christ hurts you, you must work towards forgiveness with one another because Christ forgave you. “Forgiveness is a lovely idea until you have something [or someone to] forgive.” – C.S. LewisPaul, echoing the teachings of Jesus, instructs the Colossians to forgive. Moving Toward ForgivenessDr. Everett Worthington is a Jesus-follower and psychologist who has spent 30+ years conducting the clinical science of what helps people forgive. Worthington believes true forgiveness can take place using the following research-based model in the form of the acronym REACH: Recall the hurt Empathize Activate the Altruistic Gift of ForgivenessCommit Publicly to forgive Hold on to forgiveness

Can compassion be transformative? While we might not associate being compassionate with being fierce, an act of compassion can be a powerful, even radical gesture. On God Forbid this week, James Carleton and the panel explore the positive power of compassion in testing times. 

Madefor Co-Founder and former Navy SEAL, Pat Dossett, sat down with the world's leading expert on forgiveness, Dr. Everett Worthington, to deep-dive into the science of forgiveness. Pat and Dr. Worthington discussed types of forgiveness, why it's important for our health, the cost of 'unforgiveness', and how we can learn to forgive others. Dr. Worthington also takes us through the more complex work of forgiving ourselves, and how to use his widely-accepted REACH Forgiveness Practice.You can learn more about Dr. Worthington and also find additional no-cost resources to help you on your forgiveness journey on his website.To join our live Basecamp events, register here.

The highest rent you'll ever pay is for the hurts, sorrows, and unforgiveness that occupy the space in your heart and mind. While thinking of those hurtful breakups, toxic relationships, unresolved lies, or the unrepairable damaging acts of others, it may be hard to channel the wisdom of poet Edwin Hubbel Chapin, "Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge.” However, what ancient wisdom already has known, the research now shows that there's an extraordinary healing power in taking steps to forgive others and even yourself.On this episode, Commonwealth Professor Emeritus working from the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, clinical psychologist, and author, Dr. Everett Worthington, Ph.D., discusses how forgiveness is a choice and a skill that can emerge with appropriate mental framing and psychological and prosocial practices.About Everett L Worthington, JrEverett Worthington, Ph.D., is Commonwealth Professor Emeritus working from the Department of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Is it easier for some people to forgive than others? In theory we all understand the commandment that we are to forgive everyone, whether or not we experience our idea of justice or even an apology. Most of us understand this idea on an experimental level, but sooner or later on a practical level some of us may start scrambling for the loop-hole, confident that the commandment surely didn't really mean everyone. What if it is just too hard? What if we just don't know how to forgive?I discuss what forgiveness is, and what it is NOT. For instance, it is giving up those negative emotions of anger, resentment, hate, revenge, bitterness, and grudges. But forgiveness is not condoning or excusing the action that caused harm, nor is it necessarily tied to reconciliation. There are four reasons why forgiveness is so difficult for most people, but that there is hope for anyone and everyone. In this episode I discuss the REACH step by step process of how to forgive others, and that includes  yourself, often the hardest person to forgive.While I mostly speak about concepts and topics that are within the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, forgiveness is for all Christians and religions, allowing individuals to experience peace and relief from a misguided commitment to anger and resentment.Please hit subscribe and email me at RamonaSiddoway@gmail.com with comments, questions, or topics you wish to explore.To purchase a copy of "We are Adam: the Partnership of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and what it means for you" click here for Amazon and here for Cedar Fort.Subscribe to my monthly newsletter at my website RamonaSiddoway.comFollow my blog at Medium.com for essays and articles that follow closely along with the podcasts.

Se há um ato reconhecido por nossa cultura como nobre é o de perdoar. Ao mesmo tempo, entendemos que o perdão é uma atitude difícil, porque vai contra nossos impulsos. Por esse motivo, histórias de perdão frequentemente nos impressionam, talvez até mesmo nos choquem.Por que é assim? Neste episódio, falamos sobre o que está envolvido no ato de perdoar, por que o perdão é uma tarefa tão árdua – sobretudo se comparado com a vingança – e como podemos perdoar numa era em que nada é de fato esquecido.[SIGA NO TWITTER: https://twitter.com/RandomicoPod / https://twitter.com/josuedeOlivCOMPRE MEU CONTO NA AMAZON: https://amzn.to/31cHvOm] REFERÊNCIAS DESTE EPISÓDIO:The Psychology of Forgiveness, por Rubin Khoddam. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-addiction-connection/201409/the-psychology-forgivenessThe Neurobiology of Forgiveness, por Heidi Moawad. https://www.neurologylive.com/view/neurobiology-forgivenessThe New Science of Forgiveness, por Everett Worthington. https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/the_new_science_of_forgiveness Another Great Moment in Forgiveness History, por Steven Moffic. https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/another-great-moment-forgiveness-history Technology is destroying the idea of forgiveness, por Peter Warren. http://littleatoms.com/society/technology-destroying-idea-forgiveness The hidden upsides of revenge, por Melissa Hogenboom. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20170403-the-hidden-upsides-of-revenge TRILHA SONORA:“Divided Selves”, by David Hilowitz. https://freemusicarchive.org/music/David_Hilowitz/Film_Music/David_Hilowitz_-_Film_Cue_031_-_Divided_Selves

Forgiveness is hard, especially in the aftermath of a divorce. We don’t want to let our ex ‘get away with’ what they did to hurt us. But most of us realize that carrying resentment, anger and bitterness doesn’t benefit us in any way. So, how can we begin to let go of our negative emotions and forgive a former partner? Commonwealth Professor Emeritus Dr. Everett Worthington is a leader in the field of forgiveness research, religion and spirituality in clinical practice, and the hope-focused approach to marriage and family counseling. His interest in forgiveness began in the mid-1980’s when he was counseling couples professionally, and he started studying the topic scientifically in 1990. Dr. Worthington is the author of 30-plus books and more than 350 academic articles and chapters on the subject, and he is on a mission to promote forgiveness in every willing heart, home and homeland. On this episode, Dr. Worthington joins Katherine to explain why our drive for fairness and justice makes it difficult to forgive and walk us through several strategies for lessening the injustice gap. He weighs in on the two types of forgiveness, discussing how to gradually lessen our negative emotions toward an ex we must continue to interact with. Listen in to understand Dr. Worthington’s academic and personal motives to study forgiveness and learn to leverage his REACH Model to forgive someone who’s hurt you.

Sometimes it can take so little to be hurt or hurt someone else. We may even build a wall of protection around a hurt that makes it more and more difficult to dismantle over the years. Everett Worthington, who has researched forgiveness and endured coming to terms with his own mother's murder, likens unforgiveness to a dragon protecting a hoard. Join Rev. Pat in considering how we might transform this hurtful hoard into a treasure.

A conversation with Dr. Everett Worthington – Commonwealth Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, in the Department of Psychology – on the jump from physicist to psychologist, the striking effectiveness of forgiveness in the emotional healing of our clients, and the REACH model of forgiveness. Ev’s Website * The title for this episode is taken from a quote attributed to Mark Twain: “Forgiveness Is the Fragrance the Violet Sheds on the Heel That Has Crushed It” For the APA citation for this episode please visit www.thethoughtfulcounselor.com    

“Where Did You Come From?” is the title of the first track on Suz Slezak’s upcoming collection of lullabies Watching the Nighttime Come. Slezak and David Wax, both members of Mexo-Americana band David Wax Museum, perform live in the studio—and share some challenges and triumphs of taking their baby on the road. And: In their new book Balancing the Big Stuff: Finding Happiness in Work, Family and Life, Miriam Liss and Holly Schiffrin find that “having it all” isn’t a matter of having more, but achieving a balance in life. They dissect the myths of helicopter parenting and gender issues to give concrete steps toward reaching harmony among our roles in life. Later in the show: With the success of TV shows like Modern Family and Parenthood, it’s clear that the way Americans think of family is starting to change. Yet Linda Seligmann says for trans-racial and trans-national adoptions there are still many cultural barriers. And: Carmen Balogh talks about what it was like growing up in a blended family. Plus: Forgiving others is hard, but forgiving ourselves is harder. Everett Worthington learned this painful lesson after his brother committed suicide in 2005. One of the country’s foremost experts in the study of forgiveness, Worthington tackles the subject in his upcoming book Moving Forward: Six Steps to Forgiving Yourself and Breaking Free from the Past.
