Heal for Real: A Guided Journal to Forgiving Others--And Yourself

The power of forgiveness can be yours.

From bestselling author, mental health expert, restorative justice advocate, and trauma survivor Shannon Moroney comes a transformative tool to guide and support you along the life-changing journey to forgiveness.

Informed by over a decade of work providing individual therapy and facilitating forgiveness retreats and workshops across a wide spectrum of settings--from large city conferences to tiny fly-in Arctic communities--Heal For Real walks you through a proven curriculum that has helped thousands to make peace with the past, and achieve post-traumatic growth.

Through hands-on activities, reflections, and inspirational stories and quotes, Moroney takes you through the steps of defining what forgiveness means--and doesn't mean--to you, and provides practical strategies that will help you offer and receive it. Along the way, you'll also gain insight from the forgiveness journeys of incredible individuals--including Shannon's own path toward forgiveness, following violent crimes committed by her first husband.

Above all, you'll be supported in a highly personal, individualized journey of healing. Whether what happened was Big T trauma or little t trauma, whether you were hurt or did the hurting, Heal For Real will guide you to understand and bring forgiveness into your life--in a way that's right for you.
