This is a human defense mechanism. You are feeling this way because your instincts are trying to protect you from being hurt again. However, true forgiveness will require you to let these defenses down. When you do, you are making yourself vulnerable to the person who has hurt you. This is often a scary feeling but it's what trust is all about.
But the thing still happened right? You might still have some anger to deal with. As long as your anger gets processed, you will be able to go to a deeper level of forgiveness, where you EMOTIONALLY release the event or person.
