Episode notes
Are you still punishing yourself for who you were when life got heavy?
The things you said. The people you pushed away. The choices you wish you could take back. Sometimes the hardest part of moving forward is believing you deserve to.
In this episode of The Come Back Code with Peter Herweg, I talk about forgiving yourself during and after a difficult season, especially when you are still living with the consequences.
We explore:
• Understanding what you were carrying when you weren’t coping. • Taking responsibility without turning every mistake into a permanent judgement of who you are. • Facing regret, making amends where possible, and accepting that rebuilding trust takes time. • Giving yourself permission to begin again, even when other people aren’t ready to forgive you. • Learning to respect yourself through the small choices you make today.
Forgiving yourself does not erase what happened or excuse the hurt. It means accepting responsibility while allowing yourself the opportunity to live differently.
Whether you are rebuilding after addiction, loss, burnout or a season you struggle to explain, this conversation is for the person who keeps thinking, “I should have handled it better.”
You can wish you had done things differently and still treat yourself with compassion today.
You do not have to keep hating yourself to prove that you regret what happened.
Listen, follow The Come Back Code with Peter Herweg, and share this episode with someone who is finding it difficult to forgive themselves.
Your past deserves honesty. Your future deserves a chance.
