Zmagania z poczuciem winy – o dylematach przebaczenia samemu sobie w opiniach studentów pedagogiki i słuchaczy Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku

Abstract

The problem of self-forgiveness can arise when a person discovers his or her own weaknesses and limitations. As a result, the anxiety that he or she feels becomes either a consequence of the harms done to other people their suffering or regret because of their own faults and imperfections. Therapists often point out that the feeling of guilt is not only painful or fruitless, but it can also be seen as a chance for a change and recovery. However, this approach requires the difficulty of understanding, settling with oneself and taking responsibility for what has become the cause of internal accusation, so that unprocessed guilt would not lead to breakdowns, self-rejection, contempt. Therefore, in the conducted research students of pedagogy and students of Third Age Universities, were asked about their opinions on: What it is and how they assess forgiving oneself? It was considered that the obtained data and possible differences between adults, however, representing two different age groups, would allow the selection of categories of guidelines or restrictions explaining attitudes towards the issues discussed. In the declarations of future teachers and reflections of people who followed the hardships of life experiences, an assessment of the process was noted that allows freeing from the burden of one’s own negligence and making wrong decisions.\n\n
