Dr Dick Tibbits - Forgiveness & why it is good for your health!

Dick Tibbits is a licensed professional mental health counsellor, a hospital administrator and a professional sports coach, who is currently a performance coach to some of the world’s elite motorsports racers. Following a devastating job loss, Tibbits suffered the impact of deep resentment – experiencing fatigue, weight gain and the onset of high blood pressure. He investigated whether forgiveness could have measurable health benefits, and presents his research in Forgive to Live: How Forgiveness Can Save Your Life. His research demonstrated that the act of forgiveness reaps huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack; improving cholesterol levels and sleep; and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression and stress. He shares how his faith in Jesus helps him, but that forgiveness is always a choice, whatever your faith pespective.
