Self-acceptance and self-forgiveness will be produced by using these step-by-step procedures and certain self-healing exercises. In addition to keeping us mired in the past, guilt can also prohibit us from being present, loving ourselves, and loving others. We could harbor guilt in our unconsciousness or repeatedly judge ourselves. In either case, toxic guilt is sneaky, damaging, and capable of undermining our objectives and interpersonal connections. It undermines our confidence and makes us vulnerable to manipulation and blame. Unresolved guilt can lead to hatred and wrath toward others as well as toward oneself.
