Victim, Perpetrator & Bystander Forgiveness Coaching Questions
💠 TACKLE FORGIVENESS FROM EVERY ANGLE & RESOLVE OLD ISSUES 💠
Is there someone you've forgotten to forgive... like yourself, or someone who stood by & let this situation play out?
This Coaching Question Set will help you understand different angles on the issue at hand - and maybe finally release an old forgiveness issue you have.
Victim, Perpetrator & Bystander Forgiveness Coaching Questions
In any situation there are always three positions, positions A & B being the two parties or sides involved in the situation, and then position C, that of the bystander, witness or watcher.
When it comes to forgiveness, the need to forgive takes place for the victim, perpetrator and witness or bystander.
If you've been working on a situation but still haven't found the release point, then this set of questions is designed to help you understand and analyze the situation in question from all three points of view.
This way, you can better understand how you've internalized the situation, and maybe find the lever that may give you forgiveness and peace.
How To Use the Victim, Perpetrator & Bystander Forgiveness Coaching Questions
You can use the question set in a number of ways.
You can simply just read through adn answer the questions in your mind, or even verbalize your answers out loud.
Or you could write down yor answers... healing always moves faster when you verbalize the answers you're getting. Writing is liek saying it with picture symbols - so it's halfway between talking and drawing.
When you verbalize, you absord the lesson on a conscious level, and are better able to process the resulting change that will take place in your life.
Think of it like this... if you know you've let go of someone or a situation, and you wake up teh next morning, and you are no longer missing them, or in pain because they are gone, then you know why and can roll with it.
But if you suddenly wake up after a night of crying, and you just don't feel anything for the person anymore, you don't know why it happened. So you might mistake it for going numb, for example.
The surperiority of work on the level of consciousness, is that it enables you to accept the results that the healing brings, because you can trace it back.
So, the more effort you put into verbalizing your stuff on the conscious level, the faster you will be able to shift stuff.
The other way to use this question set is with someone else.
Simply get someone you trust to ask you some or all of the questions in a conversation format.
You never have to answer all the questions - unless you really want to go deep.
It's perfectly fine if you answer only the question or questions that jump out at you.
The questions that jump out at you, only jump out at you because you have energies to shift in that area.
