Today I am reading "The Body Never Lies" by Alice Miller. Toward the end of the introduction she makes an interesting statement: “They preach forgiveness as a path to recovery and appear not to know that this path is a trap by which they themselves are caught." This sentence intrigues me.
The book I just finished was on forgiveness and I have had disagreements with some of the philosophy. I have wondered about the abused child. Certainly, a child has no power over their abuser. Miller addresses that condition. Well, I am only on page 25 so there is more to glean but, the first time in all my reading that I have come across an author with bravery to speak to this concern.
