After listening to the profound and incredibly brilliant shiur on Yosef and Yehudah, I received my answer! What a comfort! What a powerfully encouraging message for life and self development. It is truly directive towards "authentic " living.
You mentioned some of the reasons people resist acknowledging errors and accepting responsibility. I would like to add to that list: Fear of failure as a human being; insecurity of one's own worth independent of mistakes. I feel that before one can take the leap, there needs to be a safety net. The concept that you offered is the greatest safety net. Moreover it applauds the human being who makes mistakes and corrects them with real honesty and self transformation, as the greatest hero and the ultimate model of a Jew. This truly paves the way for introspection and a life of continuous adjustment. For without it, the thought of the blood on our hands is terrifying and immobilizing.Fortified with the power of Teshuva and the knowledge that one can feel every bit as worthy after going through the process, as before one messed up, the temptation to "rewrite " history or suppress it, is greatly diminished.

Unbelievable amazing class. During my recent therapeutic journey, where I was struggling with the pain of my child going off the derech, I learned so many amazing lessons and learned how to take responsibility for my actions that caused my child so much pain. I learned to forgive myself. I learned that ultimately this journey brought me to a much higher place of recognizing Hashem and His brachas in my life. I went though this journey with a not yet frum therapist. From your shiurim I can now put that psychological experience into frum words and concepts and am able to mesh my 2 realities into a higher reality and experience . Thank you. This has meant so much to me.
So many many people struggling with pain in their lives today. This kind of shiur can bring Moshiach. Thank you again for your gift of brilliance and ability to articulate concepts.

Thank you so much! This hits the spot, as in the essential whole and innocent spot behind all the illusions of brokenness and pain that we experience in our lives. This encourages us to do teshuva because of how good we really are, not because we have to control our "badness".
When we look at ourselves and see "badness" we can fearfully/anxiously control this badness, or look deeper for the source of our "badness", where we find a wounded innocent part of ourselves that needs care. Caring for this wound is the love of teshuva meahava and is profoundly healing.
It's by no means simple to do this. From my experience it's a struggle that's deeply painful, but as orchestrated by G-d it's also deeply and powerfully purposeful, meaningful and healing. It's a breakdown of a more superficial reality with the ability to reveal a deeper reality.
