How can I allow myself to feel anger when others tell me to forgive?: Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode, I coach Amanda and address the question “How can I allow myself to feel anger when others tell me to forgive?” In the LDS church, we often misunderstand feelings of anger and believe anger is bad or not Christlike.

During this episode, I guide Amanda through how feeling anger when we’ve been hurt helps us move forward, and how others often ask us to forgive and move on so they can move on.
