Forgiveness
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.

Forgiveness
Launi Treece
Psychologist, PhD
I think of forgiveness as a process from 0 percent to 100 percent and it takes time to go up the scale to 100 percent. We can talk through whatever you need to let it go (or ask someone elses's forgiveness too!). I view this from a Christian perspective. We forgive others because God first forgave us.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is difficult. It happens when you feel ready to move the hurt from the forefront to the background and it can be extremely freeing; it helps us to move on. Sometimes forgiveness is for yourself, and other times it's being able to forgive another - either expressed to them, or to them for yourself if that isn't possible.

Forgiveness
Dr. Azilde E Sanchez
Psychologist, PhD., LPC., LCADC., ACS
Letting go can be difficult. However, holding on to resentment can have a negative impact on our lives, making difficult to establish healthy relationships with others and ourselves. In therapy we can work together to process the negative events you can't let go and explore healthier ways of coping with painful situations by embracing the power of forgiveness. It is not easy, but we can work together to instill hope and compassion.

Forgiveness
HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Forgiveness is for ourselves not for the other person(s). If we are harboring resentments and grudges with people in our lives it's like pointing the finger and wanting them to suffer while we drink the poison. The hardest thing to do is forgive ourselves. Usually, we will blame then eventually forgive another person. Then we will blame and eventually forgive God. But ourselves? It's important to be gentle with ourselves for if we cannot forgive ourselves it becomes more difficult to forgive others. I have several different processes of forgiveness that will ultimately set us free! And, by the way, forgiveness does not mean forget. We learn from our own and others character defects. So sometimes it means we forgive and change the nature of our relationship with a person so we don't put ourselves in that or similar situations again.
