Have you ever felt guilty for not caring about what happens to someone who hurt you? Maybe you’ve been told to “be the bigger person,” to forgive, to feel sympathy — even when they showed you none.

In this episode of Healing Chingon, I dive into why it’s perfectly okay not to feel bad for those who wronged you, and why neutrality is often a sign of growth, not cruelty.

  • How neutrality can bring freedom and peace
  • Practical tools to release guilt and protect your energy
