Forgiveness is something that you give others. But what about forgiving yourself? That's something that we often don't do, because we just don't know how. Do you keep revisiting the missteps you've made? Do you find yourself having difficulty moving forward, because you keep revisiting the past? Not only is that counterproductive but it can also be harmful to you in the long run. Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, discusses how you can learn to forgive yourself.
