How to forgive someone who is still hurting me on a daily basis

Dear User, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling to forgive someone who is still causing you pain. It is natural to feel hurt and angry when someone has wronged us, and the process of forgiveness can be challenging, especially when the hurt is ongoing. From a Buddhist perspective, forgiveness is seen as a necessary step towards cultivating inner peace and compassion for ourselves and others. Holding onto anger and resentment only causes us more suffering in the long run. Similarly, from a psychological perspective, forgiveness can help us to let go of negative emotions and move forward with our lives. However, it is important to note that forgiveness does not mean condoning the actions of the person who hurt us, nor does it mean that we have to continue to tolerate their behavior. One approach to forgiveness is to focus on our own healing and well-being. This may involve practicing self-care, setting boundaries, and seeking support from a therapist or trusted friend. It can also be helpful to try to understand the perspective of the person who hurt us, without excusing their behavior. Sometimes, people hurt others because they are struggling with their own pain or trauma. This does not make their actions acceptable, but it can provide us with some context and empathy. In terms of specific actions you can take, I would encourage you to prioritize your own self-care and well-being. This may involve setting boundaries with the person who is hurting you, such as limiting contact or seeking support from a mediator. It can also be helpful to practice mindfulness or meditation, which can help us to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others. Finally, forgiveness is a process that takes time and patience. Be gentle with yourself and trust that with time and effort, you can find a way to forgive and move forward from the pain.
