Precisely. The reason you feel guilt is because you don't agree with a particular action of the past. You have outgrown the mindset that manifested the action you now feel guilty for.

If you can recognize that this growth has happened, you'll realize that your identity has changed, the old has been shed. Then it is easy to forgive the person that did it, and feel proud for your own evolution..

Try to recognize this.
