Healing Notes

Guilt can be a signal that we have violated our internal values or accepted false blame. GNM links chronic guilt to self-judgment conflicts. Karol Truman notes that unresolved guilt keeps emotional energy frozen in the past. Spiritually, healthy guilt invites responsibility and repentance, while unhealthy guilt traps us in punishment.
