I recently read an article in which the author claims that the reader will be able to accomplish forgiving another person in less than two hours.  I have a long-standing conflict with my cousin that goes back years.  Do you think I should look into this 2-hour approach?

Our research shows that deep hurts from other people’s injustice take weeks or months to heal.  We find that at least 12 weeks usually are necessary for these deep hurts to begin healing through forgiveness.  Therefore, the 2-hour idea is for those with minor offenses against them and minimal psychological harm.  In your case, I would not recommend the short approach.
