JHC Therapy - Judy Hakiel-Calcaterra
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Forgiveness is a complex and deeply personal process that involves letting go of resentment, anger, or negative feelings toward someone who has hurt you. It's important to note that forgiveness is not about condoning or excusing harmful behavior; rather, it's about finding inner peace and freeing yourself from the emotional burden that comes with holding onto grudges.

Forgiveness is not about the other person. Forgiveness is a give to you, so that you can be free of the pain that was inflicted on you.

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 is one of the hardest things to do. When we have been wronged, there is a desire for justice, and a desire to protect ourselves from future hurts. I walk with people to help them forgive and heal from the wound that was caused
