Forgiveness Isn't What You Think - Chris Wasko Explains

Chris Wasko never planned on becoming a spiritual counselor, energy healer, or psychic medium, but life had other ideas. Once deep in the world of business, he found himself thrust into an unexpected transformation — one that led him to unearth the raw connections between trauma, energy, and intuition. Now, he’s helping others heal their wounds, not by bandaging them up, but by tuning into something far deeper.

In the latest episode of Spiritual Conversations, a podcast produced by HolisticCircle and hosted by Philipp Kobald, Wasko dives into what happens when trauma isn’t just something to recover from — it’s something that can awaken you. And no, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill self-help chat. This is the kind of discussion that grabs you by the collar and shakes loose every excuse you’ve ever made for staying stuck.

Wasko doesn’t sugarcoat it: if you’ve spent your life in survival mode, peace is going to feel uncomfortable at first. If chaos has been your baseline, your nervous system isn’t going to suddenly crave stillness — it’s going to crave more chaos. And that’s exactly why so many people end up in the same toxic cycles, reliving the same stories, mistaking familiarity for safety. But what if the key to breaking free was hidden in something as simple as — wait for it — tuning in?

Tuning into what, exactly? Yourself. Your energy. The frequencies your body has been trying to align with, but that you’ve ignored. Wasko breaks down how energy healing isn’t some vague mystical concept, but a very real, very tangible way to recalibrate your body and mind. Ancient civilizations used chanting, vibration, and sound as medicine, while today’s world hands out prescriptions like candy. What if, instead of numbing ourselves, we actually listened to what our energy was telling us?

The conversation takes a sharp turn into society’s obsession with self-improvement — and how it’s fueling the narcissism epidemic. Wasko pulls no punches. Social media has turned self-growth into a commodity, selling us curated versions of healing while keeping us hooked on validation. We’re being trained to perform wellness, rather than actually experiencing it. The question is: are you ready to stop buying into the illusion and actually do the work?

For Wasko, healing wasn’t about forgiving and forgetting. It was about survival. Cutting ties with his past wasn’t an act of anger, but a necessity. He knows firsthand how hard it is to break generational cycles — to be the one who says, “Enough.” But on the other side of that choice? Freedom. Not the kind you post about online, but the kind that makes you sleep better at night, breathe easier, and, for the first time, actually live.

And then there’s the topic no one wants to talk about: forgiveness. It’s a word that gets thrown around as if it’s easy, but Wasko sets the record straight. Forgiveness isn’t about letting someone else off the hook. It’s about cutting the chains that are holding you down. Because as long as you’re carrying that grudge, the only person suffering is you. And honestly? You deserve better.

This episode of Spiritual Conversations isn’t just another feel-good talk. It’s a wake-up call. A challenge. A push to stop waiting for your life to change and to start changing it yourself. Because healing isn’t passive — it’s an active choice. And once you make that choice, you’ll never look back.
