Why is it important?
We live in a world where stress is a significant force. Its toll on mental health is notable. Forgiveness buffers individuals from ravaging effects of stress on mental health. The well-known relationship between stress and mental health is erased for more forgiving people.
Perspectives
This study uses sophisticated stress assessment and shows the power of forgiveness in the health. The intersections of mind-body-spirit are highlighted by this type of work.
