Forgiveness
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with forgiveness, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to understand the root causes of their struggles with forgiveness, such as past traumas or deeply held beliefs. I offer techniques and strategies to help them process their emotions, including mindfulness, journaling, and guided imagery. We also explore the concept of empathy, helping patients understand the perspective of the person who wronged them. Together, we identify and challenge any barriers to forgiveness, such as resentment or fear of vulnerability. My goal is to empower patients to find their own path to forgiveness, whether it involves reconciliation or simply letting go of negative emotions and moving forward with their lives.

Forgiveness
Dr. Lisa C. Watson
Psychologist, PsyD, MPH
In forgiveness therapy for adults, I begin with a thorough assessment to understand their personal history and current challenges related to forgiveness. Creating a supportive environment, I help clients explore their feelings and beliefs about forgiveness, emphasizing its benefits for personal well-being. Together, we address negative emotions like anger and resentment through techniques such as cognitive restructuring and empathy exercises. Mindfulness and relaxation practices are integrated to promote emotional regulation during the forgiveness process. Homework assignments, such as journaling or forgiveness exercises, support progress between sessions. Regular assessments ensure our approach remains effective and aligned with clients' goals, aiming to empower adults in navigating forgiveness toward healing and personal growth.

Forgiveness
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Remember that the first inherent step of forgiveness is acknowledging that there is hurt and pain. We do not always realize that this may be the biggest hurdle to forgiveness. Sure our minds may tell us stories about that pain, but that is a way to avoid feeling it. Once we feel secure and strong enough to feel our pain we will let it go. Forgiveness is the catalyst for pain releasing, leaving wisdom in its place. When we forgive, we do not go back; we step forward into that wisdom and strength.

Forgiveness
Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I have worked with many clients who have been harmed or betrayed by a loved one, some very recently and others a very long time ago. I don't believe that forgiveness is always mandatory for healing, but I have seen it feel very freeing for many people in order to move forward from the trauma, betrayal, or loss they have experienced. It's a process that cannot be rushed, and everyone's timeline is different. My aim is to help these clients take all of the time and space they need to process the complicated feelings they may feel towards the person who has harmed them.
