Whether you are religious or not, you will have come across the concept of forgiveness and the idea that we must forgive in order to lead a happier and healthier life. There are several studies that link forgiveness to better mental and even physical health. “Quality empirical research has shown that when we are better at forgiveness we experience lower stress, tension, levels of depression, anxiety, and perhaps most important, anger. Anger is toxic to our mental and physical health, increasing our stress reactivity and our risk for illness such as heart disease.” Thomas G. Plante Ph.D., ABPP
