Forgiveness
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

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.

At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I offer a unique and compassionate approach to fostering forgiveness through psychodynamic therapy. My practice integrates techniques from Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and experiential methods, creating a safe and empathetic space for clients to explore and process their experiences of hurt and betrayal deeply.
In addressing forgiveness, my approach focuses on understanding and resolving the unconscious processes that influence emotions and behaviors related to past grievances. By delving into these deeper layers, clients can gain insight into the root causes of their difficulties with forgiveness, whether they stem from unresolved trauma, relationship issues, or personal conflicts. This comprehensive understanding allows for more effective and lasting healing.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to genuine therapeutic connection and present-moment awareness. I emphasize the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel truly seen and supported. Through this connection, we work together to develop emotional regulation skills, enhance self-awareness, and build resilience, enabling clients to move towards forgiveness and emotional freedom.
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I tailor each treatment plan to the individual needs of my clients, ensuring that they receive the most appropriate and effective care.

Crystal Taylor - Soulful Hearts In Nature
Life Coach, RSMT
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.

Brianna Headen
Professional Christian Counselor, Board Certified Pastoral Counselor, Board Certified Life & Purpose Coach,
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
