The main problem I've been encountering in this fight has been the difficulty in overcoming my own judgemental attitude toward others. I consider that overcoming judgement is a prerequisite to overcoming guilt, as guilt is merely the application of one's own judgement toward self.
For me, overcoming judgement means uncovering one's own feelings of bitterness. These feelings are often buried, as they are unpleasant and not socially acceptable within the family or the community. Asking God to allow oneself to feel their true feelings is a first step toward unburying hidden emotions. In these exercises, calling upon the presence of Christ to hold you in the midst of your ugliness is a necessity to allow one to face his or her own sin.
