What role does forgiveness play in the hard, often painful work of building peace? In this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Jean Geran sits down with her longtime friend Todd Deatherage, co-founder of Telos, a nonprofit helping leaders navigate conflict and work toward reconciliation in some of the world's most challenging places.Drawing from decades of experience in the Middle East, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and the American South, Todd shares why forgiveness can't be forced — but why, when it does happen, it has the power to break open even the most entrenched cycles of hurt. From the story of Mama Callie Greer in Montgomery, Alabama, to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa, this conversation is for anyone wrestling with what it means to pursue peace without sacrificing justice.What You Will LearnWhy forgiveness is essential to peacemaking — but can never be required or rushedThe six principles of peacemaking that guide Telos's work around the worldThe difference between inner transformation and systemic justice — and why both matterThe story of Callie Greer: how one woman's act of forgiveness launched a lifetime of advocacyWhat the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa teaches us about truth, forgiveness, and communal healingWhy forgiveness across communal lines creates space for the offender to be transformed — not just the victimHow restorative justice works, and why the American criminal legal system leaves so little room for repairThe meaning of shalom — and why “peace” is a pale translationCommunal responsibility, historical injustice, and what it means to say “I'm not responsible”Why “hurt people hurt people” — and why healed people have the power to bring healing to the worldGuest BioTodd Deatherage spent ten years on Capitol Hill and six years at the U.S. State Department working on human rights and international religious freedom — where he and Jean first became friends and colleagues. In 2009, he co-founded Telos, a nonprofit that helps leaders better understand conflict and equips them to pursue reconciliation and peace in some of the world's most difficult contexts. Telos has created experiential learning journeys in the Middle East, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and the American South (Restory Us).

With the recent news of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and the eventual return of the remaining Israeli hostages, tensions remain high between pro- and anti-Zionist communities here in Canada, who've stood sharply divided on the foreign conflict for 15 months. Members of those communities may still be holding hatred or anger in their hearts—leading to increased depression, anxiety and isolation. But according to Dr. Robert Enright, forgiveness is a choice rooted in mercy—and doesn't come at the expense of moral justice. As the co-founder of the International Forgiveness Institute, Enright has dedicated his career to studying forgiveness and the effects it has on the human brain and body.

Send us a textIn this episode I interview Dr. Robert Enright about his book and Evidenced based intervention, "Forgiveness Therapy".Dr. Enright talks about the therapy in a nutshell, the data demonstrating its efficacy and the challenges he faced to overpower misguided academic ideology with raw data.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 5, 2024 is: adversary • AD-ver-sair-ee • noun An adversary is an enemy or opponent. // Upon learning that its adversaries were ahead in sales, the company quickly formed a new advertising campaign. See the entry > Examples: “... These students will not be better off if they know how to add up a grocery bill but have no clue about how to deal with an adversary from 10 years ago who suddenly appears before them. If the purpose of education is to prepare our children for the future, perhaps it is time to factor in the survival approach of learning how to forgive.” — Robert Enright, Psychology Today, 25 June 2024 Did you know? If you consider an opponent as someone with whom one goes toe-to-toe, head-to-head, or even mano a mano, it may help you remember the meaning of adversary, a more formal synonym of opponent. Adversary comes from the Latin verb advertere, meaning “to turn or direct toward,” which makes sense; even if two adversaries are not literally face-to-face, their goals and aims are usually in direct conflict with (i.e., turned or directed toward) one another. The vertere part of advertere means “to turn,” and is the source of a number of English words, including some that are obvious, such as inadvertent and adverse, and others that are less so, like anniversary and vertebra.

In this episode of the NeuroFaith podcast, Dr. Curt Thompson interviews Dr. Robert Enright, a licensed psychologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Enright, a pioneer in the study of forgiveness, shares his journey from focusing on justice within moral development to exploring the concept of forgiveness. Despite facing opposition from the academic community on the subject of forgiveness, Enright persisted. Driven by the belief that forgiveness could benefit those suffering from deep injustices, he continued his work. Over time, his persistence paid off, as the study of forgiveness has gained acceptance and is widely researched and applied in mental health practices. Listen as Dr. Enright emphasizes the importance of adopting a more forgiving and lesresentful mindset that can lead to significant personal healing and community renewal in our lives.

Is it truly possible to forgive and forget? According to the Catechism, "It is not in our power not to feel or to forget an offense; but the heart that offers itself to the Holy Spirit turns injury into compassion and purifies the memory in transforming the hurt into intercession" (CCC 2843).

Together, they'll discuss: -What prevents us from receiving God's forgiveness? -Why is it so hard to forgive others, or to ask for their forgiveness? -And what about forgiving ourselves – why is that often the biggest challenge?   Check out Fr.

While forgiveness seems to be for the HCP, it is actually for you, the spouse. Forgiveness is not condoning, accepting, excusing or denying the abuse. Our guest takes us through a 4 phase process that helps you to uncover the impact of unforgiveness, examine the benefits of choosing forgiveness, begin the journey to forgive and the healing that journey invites and ultimately, how forgiveness, healing and growth is the cornerstone for finding meaning in the struggle with the HCP.The psychological impact of living with a HCP crushes your self esteem often leaving you, the spouse insecure, reactive and bitter. Our guest, Dr. Gayle Reed, shares how forgiveness is a healing balm for the spouse of the HCP. She explains the traumatic impact of verbal and emotional abuse and the psychological defenses you use to manage the resulting anger, pain and confusion.Gayle Reed, a former psychiatric nurse, received a PhD from the University of Wisconsin--Madison under graduate advisor Dr. Robert Enright, internationally known leader in research on forgiveness and co-founder of the International Forgiveness Institute. Dr. Reed's own research on forgiveness has demonstrated that a forgiveness recovery program resulted in psychological benefits for women with a history of spousal psychological abuse and childhood sexual abuse. This research has been featured in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and on the Jane Pauley show (NBC).Journey Beyond Divorce Resources mentioned in this episode: Book a Free Rapid Relief Call: http://rapidreliefcall.com Win Without Law School: https://www.winwithoutlawschool.com/ Join the Ultimate High Conflict Divorce Summit: https://www.jbddivorcesupport.com/summit2023

It seems that the denizens of New London, Connecticut have real issues with forgiveness and letting go. Every year they throw a bizarre festival castigating the infamous American Revolutionary War-era traitor Benedict Arnold for giving information to the British forces leading them to raid and burn New London in 1781. The annual event consists of parades with revelers wearing tricorn hats, carrying mock bayonets and torches and other commemorations all culminating in the burning of Arnold in effigy after 242 years. Really, no really! Forgiving is not always easy, it's like trying to fold a giant fitted sheet—a seemingly impossible task that requires patience, flexibility, and perhaps a touch of divine intervention. So that got us thinking about how anger, resentment, and hatred impact our wellbeing and what the benefits of forgiveness may offer us. And because it's what he does, Peter tracked down the Godfather of forgiveness, the man who recognized its power and has since dedicated his life to the research and proliferation of forgiveness. Lauded as a “game changer in modern psychology” by the American Psychological Foundation, Dr. Robert Enright holds the Aristotelian Professorship in Forgiveness Science in the UW–Madison School of Education's Department of Educational Psychology. He's also a five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, winner of the 2022 American Psychological Foundation's Gold Medal Award for Impact in Psychology, and author of the first scientific study on person-to-person forgiveness.   IN THIS EPISODE: Forgiveness defined and its scientifically proven benefits.

Robert Enright, PhD, of the International Forgiveness Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, discusses how you know if you're ready to forgive, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, whether any harms are truly unforgivable, and how to forgive someone who isn't sorry for what they've done.

This week I'm joined by Dr. Robert Enright, a pioneering force in the scientific study of forgiveness and a professor in educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Over the last nearly 40 years, he and his colleagues have developed a pathway to forgiveness that has helped people who have endured severe personal and societal trauma. His recent work has been focused on bringing forgiveness programs to children so that they can apply these principles more easily as adults. Today we'll talk about what exactly forgiveness is and what it is not, how we go about forgiving even the most severe injustices, and what happens to us in our bodies and in our minds when we do. With Dr. Enright's help, we'll bring the healing power of forgiveness to the front of the conversation, where it needs to be.

Think for a second about the last time you forgave someone. Was it hard? How did it make you feel? Or what about the person you forgave?   Next time on The Facing Project, J.R. Jamison shares the stories of two women — one who forgave the man who paralyzed her son in a car accident, and another who forgave her once absent mother and abusive brother. Later, he is joined by Dr. Robert Enright, who was named by TIME magazine as the leading researcher on the psychology behind forgiveness.  Stories included in this episode – Stopping to Forgive Greg Zgunda's story as told to Stephanie Fisher by his mother, Beverly Zgunda, from Facing Disabilities in East Central Indiana. Performed by Katy Wolfe. What I Know About Me An anonymous story as told to Bev Nye from Facing Poverty in McPherson, Kansas. Performed by Tiffany Erk.
