Can Radical Forgiveness Rewire Your Brain And Transform Your Mental Health with Adam Brownlie

Can Radical Forgiveness Rewire Your Brain And Transform Your Mental Health with Adam Brownlie

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life host Sana sits down with Australian author and happiness researcher Adam Brownlie to strip forgiveness of the clichés and look at it as a real mental health skill. Instead of treating forgiveness like a moral slogan, Adam frames it as the act of releasing resentment so your nervous system is not running on stress all the time.

Together they unpack why so much emotional suffering comes from replaying past events, how our judgments create hormones like cortisol and dopamine, and why decisions are less about free choice and more about causes in our brain and environment. The conversation moves from theory to practice, with simple ways to notice your own thought patterns, question old stories, and loosen the grip of self blame. If you are stuck between “I know I should let go” and “I honestly can’t yet,” this episode gives you language, perspective and tools without pretending the process is easy or instant.

About The Guest:

Adam Brownlie is an Australian writer, speaker and creator of Happypedia, a holistic guide that blends science, psychology and modern philosophy to explore what truly makes life meaningful. His acclaimed sci fi novel The Last Gods uses future focused storytelling to ask hard questions about identity, morality and what it means to be human.

Through his books, talks and community work, Adam focuses on happiness, mental health, relationships and the everyday habits that shape our inner world. His work is grounded, practical and centred on real human behaviour rather than quick fix positivity.

Key Takeaways:

  • Forgiveness is not about excusing harm. It is about releasing resentment so your nervous system is not locked in chronic stress from past events.

  • True forgiveness is mainly for you. When you let go of resentment, the main benefit is your own mental health, sleep, focus and relationships.

  • Adam outlines three paths to forgiveness. waiting for feelings to fade, changing your perspective on what happened, or seeing that the other person’s actions were unavoidable given their brain, history and state in that moment.

  • Our judgments drive our biochemistry. When we judge something as bad, we produce stress hormones. When we reframe or understand the cause, the body stops hitting the panic button.

  • Decisions are often unpredictable in the moment, which suggests they are less “free” than they feel. Seeing choices as the result of causes can soften harsh self blame and harsh judgment of others.

  • You can want accountability and still move toward forgiveness. Naming your pain and asking “What made you act this way?” can open space for understanding without denying the harm.

  • Emotional residue, like getting triggered by old memories, does not mean you are failing at forgiveness. It can simply show that your beliefs and judgments around the event still need updating.

  • Practical practice. regularly notice how your own decisions appear, question the story “they could have just chosen differently,” and look for perspectives that reduce resentment without gaslighting your experience.
