REACH 4.6 ❍ Trying to Understand

Often, in our own hearts, we can see reasons that made his or her acts easier to understand. Can you see any of these things:

• Did you provoke the person at all?
• Might the person have meant well?
• Might the person have been under a lot of pressure at that time?

This is a crucial step to emotionally forgiving the person. This is for your personal reflection. Were you able to get any more positive perspective about the person who harmed you?
