Watch first

What this is

When guilt fuses "what I did" with "who I am," you collapse into a global label — bad person, monster, unforgivable. Research shows that adaptive self-forgiveness means owning the action fully while recognizing your identity stays intact. This tool helps you honestly name the act, spot the overgeneralized label, sort truth from distortion, and hold both: accountability AND intact worth.

Who it's for

You can't stop calling yourself a bad person after something you did. The guilt has fused with your identity — you don't just feel bad, you feel you ARE bad. This helps you own the act without losing yourself.
