Unfortunately, even when the other person has forgiven them, a lot of humans won't forgive themselves....otherwise, there'd be no churches.
Worse yet is unearned guilt. Say someone who loves
his country and yet, because of stupid laws expatriates his money...the conflict brings on
guilt...but who the hell is he supposed to ask
for forgiveness? Congress? The police?

So, if it works for
the person, I say go for it...beats 10 years of
therapy.
