Human, Flawed, Forgiven
- Best Seller
Human, Flawed, Forgiven explores the complex journey of forgiveness for one's parents. The narrative is structured to help readers understand that while parents are inherently flawed—as all humans are—holding onto anger and blame is a self-imposed burden that serves no purpose. It emphasizes that forgiveness is a gift one gives to oneself, a crucial step toward healing and building a healthier, happier life.
Through personal anecdotes, psychological insights, and practical advice, Geis navigates the reader through the powerful process of shifting outward blame toward inward responsibility. The book posits that forgiveness is an internal process, one that does not require the participation or even awareness of the person being forgiven. It's a powerful reminder that we have the strength and the right to choose forgiveness at any moment, for our own sake, and to live life to its fullest, free from the past.
Selma Geis studied psychology and philosophy before embarking on a 20-year teaching career while raising her two now grown-up sons. She draws on her lifelong experience in the educational sector and her own personal journey toward forgiveness to help all those wanting to free themselves from unhealthy parental ties. Her goal is to provide practical strategies for anyone wishing to move toward a place of forgiveness and fulfillment, whatever their parental upbringing.
Selma was inspired to write about the importance of forgiveness after her own experience of growing up with an abusive father. Unable to forgive or forget, it wasn’t until his death that she began to work through her feelings of anger and resentment that had accumulated over the years. By researching current insights into the psychology of parental forgiveness and attending seminars by leading voices on the subject, Selma eventually came to terms with her father’s “unforgivable” behavior. She was able to release herself of the negative emotions that such unhealthy relationships create and move toward a place of healing, compassion, and empowerment.
When Selma is not helping both parents and youngsters to improve their relationships through her advisory work in the educational sphere, she frequently writes articles and blogs for various parenting websites. Touching on topics such as setting boundaries, moving from victimhood to empowerment, and strategies for dealing with childhood trauma, Selma hopes to inspire her readership to take control of their own lives by replacing bitterness with forgiveness.
Selma lives just outside of Boston, where she enjoys getting creative in the kitchen and taking long walks with her four-legged friend.
