Can people change? The short answer is yes. The real question is: can we have the compassion to see one’s (including our own) potential, versus forever holding them to past behaviors and actions?
Honouring one’s potential to change doesn’t mean erasing the wounds of the past. But there’s incredible healing power in forgiveness and in recognizing one’s humanity - especially your own.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- Judgment and righteousness
- The potential for someone to change
- Forgiveness and compassion
- Healing from trauma
- Approaching disagreement with respect
- Why always refer to someone by name
Do you believe people can change? Are certain elements unchangeable? Is there something you’re going to work on after hearing this episode? DM me on Instagram @emilygoughcoach or email me and I’d love to discuss your thoughts.
