What Can Radical Forgiveness Do For You?
If you’re feeling out of balance, trapped, or experiencing emotional pain, and are looking for a way to move forwards, Radical Forgiveness is a powerful tool that will help you to transform your emotions and, in turn, your life.
It will enable you to understand your feelings, and uncover the beliefs, perceptions and behavior that have been keeping you stuck. Through shifting your energies from anger and blame to forgiveness and responsibility, you’ll be able to see things from a healthier perspective, not the limiting one of being a victim.
Colin and JoAnn Tipping
Radical Forgiveness is concept and framework developed by Colin and JoAnn Tipping. It’s an approach to forgiveness that goes beyond traditional notions of forgiveness. At the same time, it offers a new perspective on healing and releasing emotional pain.
Colin and JoAnn Tipping: Founders of Radical Forgiveness
It doesn’t matter how many meditations we’ve done or books we’ve read. If we’re carrying around resentment and anger and not doing anything about it, it’s difficult to grow in an authentic and balanced way. We’ve got too much baggage.
RF helps us to grow spiritually by releasing the baggage that keeps us from growing. That baggage is part of the material that gives us the spiritual growth we’re looking for. RF can therefore assist in accelerating our spiritual growth.
Radical Forgiveness is not just about pardoning or letting go of grievances; it involves a deeper understanding of life events and how they can contribute to personal growth and transformation.

The Key Principles of Radical Forgiveness include:
- The Spiritual Perspective: Radical Forgiveness operates from the belief that everything that happens in our lives is part of a higher spiritual plan. Even events that seem unjust or painful are seen as opportunities for growth and learning.
- The Victim Triangle: This concept outlines how individuals often play roles of the victim, persecutor, or rescuer in different life situations. Radical Forgiveness encourages individuals to recognize these roles and transcend them to achieve a higher level of awareness.
Radical Forgiveness Interviews
A few years ago, Dr Misty Funk invited me, Rose, to discuss Radical Forgiveness with her in the context of her own program on forgiveness.
Once we got started, we realized that, to do justice to the subject, it would be even more helpful to do three sessions!
Combined, these sessions provide a comprehensive overview of how forgiveness can be transformational in our relationships with others and ourselves, as well as our interpretations of life events.

Presentation on Forgiveness and Lovingkindness
This is a recording of a recent presentation on forgiveness and loving-kindness.
Those attending had been part of a spiritual group where there had been, and still is in some cases, a lot of friction, name-calling and division.
We look at the dynamics at play in terms of what happens in any group where people are not owning their own power. And we explored how authentic forgiveness can assist us in being willing to acknowledge that these difficult situations are huge growth opportunities.
As part of the session, we also experienced one of the RF processes, the 13 Steps to RF.
The Five Stages of Radical Forgiveness
All RF processes take us through these five stages:
- Telling the Story
Acknowledging the pain and suffering caused by a particular event or situation.
Having your victim storied witnessed, by yourself or a coach. - Feeling the Feelings
Allowing yourself to feel the emotions associated with the event, without judgment.
- Collapsing the Story
Recognizing that the story you’ve been telling yourself about the event is just one perspective among many.
- Reframing the Story
Consider the event from a spiritual perspective, viewing it as an opportunity for growth.
- Integration
Anchoring the shift from blame to peace by doing something physical: writing, using the voice, art. This ensures that the shift is not merely an intellectual idea, which in itself is not lasting.
