  <title>EP 068:  Ed Squire on Forgiveness, Trauma, and Confronting My Abuser</title>
  <description>In this deeply personal solo episode, I share a story I’ve never told publicly before. I open up about being sexually abused as a child, how that trauma shaped my life for decades, and what happened when I visited my abuser on his deathbed. This is not a story about minimizing pain or bypassing justice. It’s about what forgiveness actually looks like when it’s grounded in truth, faith, and time. In this episode, I also share five biblically grounded insights on healing from trauma, including: – Why forgiveness is an act of obedience, not emotion – How to bring anger honestly into God’s presence – Why releasing revenge is essential for freedom – How bitterness binds us long after abuse ends – Why trusting God with justice brings lasting peace If you’ve experienced trauma — especially abuse — this episode is for you. You’re not broken. And healing is possible. 📩 Contact: ed@visiblekindness.com 🌱 Learn more: https://visiblekindness.com 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and share your thoughts at www.visiblekindness.com/podcast&amp;amp;nbsp; Follow Visible Kindness: 📧 Join the Kindness Reset:&amp;amp;nbsp;https://pages.visiblekindness.com&amp;amp;nbsp; 👇CONNECT WITH ED: 🌐 Website: https://www.visiblekindness.com  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EdSquire2  🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@visiblekindness  📸 Instagram:&amp;amp;nbsp; https://www.instagram.com/ed_squire  LinkedIn:&amp;amp;nbsp; https://www.linkedin.com/in/edsquire/  X:&amp;amp;nbsp; https://www.X.com/VisibleKindness  Threads:&amp;amp;nbsp; https://www.threads.net/edsquiremedia&amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
