Holding on to hurt and anger is a drain on you, not the person who upset you. Being unable to forgive, maintains a blockage within you for moving forward and this must be cleared to have any chance of a happier future.
As a counselling psychotherapist, I can help individuals and groups explore their personal freedom and forgiveness. Through a variety of strategies, I'll help them release their pain and resentment. It's also about finding inner peace and being able to move forward with a more positive outlook. To achieve this, mindfulness tools and improved self-awareness will be offered as a form of treatment.
All the major spiritual traditions as well as scientific studies site forgiveness as a main key to a happy and fulfilling life. Holding onto grudges, anger, guilt, shame, etc towards others but also towards ourselves can be like dragging around a heavy anchor that constantly weighs us down and keeps us from having a more open loving heart and enjoying life. For highly sensitive people, this lack of forgiveness can often have an even more dramatic effect and in some cases can even lead to health issues as well. Together we will work through a process of forgiveness that will bring you much more freedom using a unique multi-modal approach.
Forgiveness is difficult to learn but immensely rewarding. It should be one of the core elements in our lives. I realised that early in life, I have managed it and I want others to do so, too.
