Why do they always say”Forgive and forget” then? I can forgive but doesn’t it mean you must try to forget as part of the forgiveness??

Forget the THEY. No one can actually fully forget when harm is done to a person, anyway. It’s an innate defense mechanism to help you from getting in the same situation again. It’s when the memory of the event goes in over drive and it affects a persons ability to function is when some forgetfulness is necessary. But in an over drive memory, therapy can help. Sometimes the memories can create trauma and forgetting trauma isn’t that easy.
