Panama City Beach, Florida therapist: Mayme Siders, licensed clinical social worker
Forgiveness

Mayme Siders

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
While we think of forgiveness as being about something we do for others, my experience is that it is something we most often need to do for ourselves. However, I do not think it a requirement in the process of personal growth. I would never tell someone that they should or shouldn't forgive anyone. Rather, I would work to help them to look more deeply at how they feel about the situation, help them to decide how they want to proceed, and then support them in that choice.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Gayle MacBride, psychologist
Forgiveness

Gayle MacBride

Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.

Boston, Massachusetts therapist: Dr. Lisa C. Watson, psychologist
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.

Silver Spring, Maryland therapist: Jeannette Craigfeld, psychologist
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.

McKinney, Texas therapist: Kreins Psychological Services, psychologist
Forgiveness

Kreins Psychological Services

Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist, my approach to treating forgiveness is grounded in understanding its profound impact on mental health and well-being. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and narrative therapy, I guide individuals in exploring the complex emotions and beliefs surrounding forgiveness. By facilitating a process of self-reflection, empathy-building, and perspective-taking, I help clients cultivate compassion for themselves and others involved in the situation. Additionally, I assist individuals in setting boundaries, practicing assertiveness, and letting go of resentment to promote healing and release emotional burdens. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace forgiveness as a transformative process that fosters personal growth, resilience, and inner peace.
