When asked to reflect on their own offenses, men become more forgiving
Forgiveness can be a powerful means to healing, but it does not come naturally for both sexes. Men have a harder time forgiving than women do, according to Case Western Reserve University psychologist Julie Juola Exline. But that can change if men develop empathy toward an offender by seeing they may also be capable of similar actions. Then the gender gap closes, and men become less vengeful.

Healing by forgiveness
Forgiveness forms one of the main pillars on which Dr. David Benor, a psychiatrist in Bedford, New Jersey, bases his treatment of emotionally scarred individuals and families. “I’ve refused over the years to be boxed into the corner of just doing medication. So I help people with body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit.”

Don’t forget to forgive
The study of forgiveness, once the preserve of theologians, has become the hottest field of research among clinical psychologists in America, where more than 1,000 studies on the subject have been published in the past five years. Much of the research focuses on the health benefits, both psychological and physical, of forgiveness. Human nature seems inclined rather more towards vengeance and rage; certainly they have always provided us with more entertainment, but, according to the American psychologist Ed Hallowell, learning to forgive could be as important for our health as fastening our seat belts or giving up smoking.

Forgive and your health won’t forget
There’s no getting around it - forgiveness is good for you and holding a grudge is not. While many people believe that to forgive someone is to let that other guy off the hook, maybe undeservedly, evidence is mounting that it’s the one who stops holding a grudge who finds a new lease on life - and on health and well-being.
