Answer to Question 1
Self-forgiveness refers to the constructive process of letting go of a desire to punish, retaliate, or act destructively toward oneself due to one's perceived transgressions. It does not absolve a person from taking responsibility for objective acts of wrongdoing. Taking responsibility may involve making a commitment to never again commit the offensive acts or to make reparations to persons who have been harmed by such acts (see Fisher & Exline, 2006; Hall & Fincham, 2005).
