Radical Forgiveness – A Transformative Forgiveness Method by Colin Tipping

Radical Forgiveness is a profound method of emotional and spiritual healing, created by Colin Tipping. It helps you forgive yourself and others – not by forgetting, but by understanding the meaning of your experiences. It is a technique that allows you to free yourself from pain, regret, and blocking emotions. Learn how it works and who it can be crucial for.

What is Radical Forgiveness?

Radical Forgiveness is not simply "letting go and forgetting." It is a deep, transformative practice that allows us to change the way we perceive difficult events from the past. Instead of suppressing pain, we learn to understand and accept it as part of our spiritual growth.

"Radical Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It’s about recognizing the perfection in what happened."
— Colin Tipping

This method works differently from traditional forgiveness. It doesn’t require agreeing with the harm done but invites us to view it from a broader, spiritual perspective. It’s a process that leads not only to the release of emotions but also to profound inner healing.

Who is Radical Forgiveness for?

Radical Forgiveness is for you if:

  • You carry pain, regret, guilt, or anger toward others or yourself,

  • You want to free yourself from emotional blocks that sabotage your relationships, health, or growth,

  • You are on a personal and spiritual development path and seek deeper healing,

  • You have gone through difficult events (breakups, family conflicts, abuse, loss),

  • You feel that the time has come to let go and find inner peace.

You don’t have to "forget," and you don’t have to "pretend nothing happened." All you need to do is open yourself to a different truth about what happened to you.

What does the Radical Forgiveness process look like?

The process consists of several stages that lead to emotional and spiritual liberation:

  1. Recognizing emotions – you name what you feel and toward whom.

  2. Expressing judgments – without censorship, without shame.

  3. Becoming aware of the story – what you really think about the situation.

  4. Shifting interpretation – looking at it from a new, spiritual perspective.

  5. Integration and release – letting go of what no longer serves you.

During an individual session:

  • You have a safe space to express your emotions,

  • You use a worksheet and/or guided meditation,

  • You feel tangible relief – often after just one session.

After just a few weeks, many people experience lightness, inner peace, and renewed energy for life.
