Often times you may feel guilty because of an action that you committed or a decision you chose to do and how it affected someone else. Guilt is a natural emotion and is part of a learning process. It makes sense why it would manifest and plays an important role in the natural order of the healing process. Just as our physical bodies heal, you need to allow your mental health to heal. Holding onto a guilty feeling is not healthy and only prevents you from growing. You can push past the guilt and reflect on the behavior that caused it objectively. Healing from feeling guilty requires courage, and the willingness to push past the guiltiness.

One of the first steps in doing so is justifying your actions and why you did them.  You need to understand for yourself what caused the behavior.  The second step is to determine if the behavior was actually justifiable. Often we convince ourselves that we "can" do certain things even if we feel they might be wrong or hurtful because of certain reasons. This thought process is the place where you need to do the most reflection and normally what can help you prevent future guilt-inducing behavior.

Guilt is a natural bi-product of your body telling you that something you dis isn't lining up with your value system. Men's therapy will help you redefine your values, and learn to live with integrity even in uncomfortable situations. You will learn what you use to justify your behaviors, rational and irrational thought processes, and ways to avoid hurting people you love.  When you are on a bridge of guilt, the only way to get over it is to move forward but to keep an eye behind you to make sure it doesn't collapse.  Getting to the other side without carrying weight from the past will lead you to a place of peace and happiness.
