If you are human, it is likely that you have hurt and been hurt by others. What may be less likely is knowing how to find a road to reconciliation or addressing the reality that reconciliation may not be instantly possible or possible at all. In this episode, Keith Wilson, licensed mental health counselor draws upon his years of clinical experience and his book, The Road to Reconciliation: A Comprehensive Guide to Peace when Relationships Go Bad, to offer an understanding of the pitfalls and possibilities of reconciliation. With candor and examples, Keith is upfront with the roles engaged in and sometimes shared by offender and victim. He invites recognition of the complexities and the context, lists the steps of reparation and encourages a personal consideration of one’s responsibility.
