Title: Anyone seen this programme 'Unforgivable'?
Post by: Hope67 on August 12, 2025, 02:56:11 PM
I know there's a programme on TV called 'Unforgivable' which is a screen play about CSA and normally I'd want to watch programmes about that, but I am reticent about possibly watching this one, as I fear how I might be affected, and so I just wondered if anyone has seen it, and whether it was something that they found helpful/interesting.

The programme is discussed and described in this article which is from a magazine (Woman & Home), and a link is here:

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/lifestylegeneral/what-unforgivable-teaches-us-about-trauma-and-forgiveness/ar-AA1JKylg?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=dcfe1fb78d3a48788d4d253deebe86e4&ei=53

The article is by Debra Waters and is called 'What Unforgivable teaches us about trauma and forgiveness."

I guess some of my own reticence comes from not knowing if I feel 'ready' to watch it - but at the same time, I am wondering if I would be missing out on some learning perspectives if I didn't watch it.

Hope

In my experience, I will come across the learning perspectives in a different context when I'm ready. I hope the same goes for you to Hope.

Hi Armee,
Thank you, it is good to hear you say that. 

Hi Blueberry,
Thank you, it is good to hear you say that too. 

Thanks to what you both wrote, plus listening to the caution from some of my parts about whether to watch this programme - I have decided that I won't watch it yet -  but maybe in the future.  I am keen to work on the things that are written in my book on CSA, and when the time feels right, I might then watch it, but until then - I know I can hopefully find the programme series in the future, if I do want to watch it, and feel ready at that time to watch it.
