Forgiveness

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Forgiveness counseling is a transformative process that facilitates the release of resentment, anger, and hurt that often maintains a hold on one's emotional well-being. Our services in this area focus on assisting clients as they navigate the complex path toward forgiving others and, equally importantly, themselves. This journey can pave the way for healing, inner peace, and the restoration of fractured relationships. Fostering Compassion and Peace Through Forgiveness * Understanding Forgiveness: We begin by exploring the true meaning of forgiveness, debunking myths, and setting realistic expectations about what forgiveness does and does not entail. * Addressing Emotional Pain: Our counselors create a safe and empathetic space for clients to express and work through the emotional pain that has inhibited their ability to forgive, fostering a deeper understanding of their own feelings and experiences. * Personal Empowerment: Forgiveness is framed as a choice and an act of personal empowerment, rather than a sign of weakness or an obligation to others. * Letting Go of Harmful Attachments: Therapy focuses on helping individuals let go of negative attachments to past events and the people who have caused them harm, enabling them to reclaim their mental and emotional freedom. * Reconciliation versus Release: We help clients discern between reconciliation—a restored relationship with the one who wronged them—and release, which is to free oneself from the burden of unresolved hurt. Goals of Forgiveness Counseling Our forgiveness counseling aims to assist clients in: * Processing and Accepting Hurtful Events: Acknowledge and accept the reality of what happened in order to move forward. * Liberating from the Past: Break free from the anchor of past hurts that impede current happiness and emotional wellness. * Enhancing Personal Growth: Use the process of forgiveness as a catalyst for personal growth and self-improvement. * Healing Emotional Wounds: Begin to heal the emotional wounds inflicted by others or oneself. * Restoring Inner Peace: Achieving a sense of inner peace, regardless of whether the relationship with the offender is reconciled. The act of forgiveness can be a profoundly liberating experience that goes far beyond mending relationships with others—it's an act of healing for oneself. Our skilled therapists are dedicated to guiding you through the emotional complexities of forgiveness, empowering you to let go of the past and embrace a more peaceful, fulfilling future. Connect with us to explore how forgiveness counseling can be a vital step in your personal journey of healing and growth.

Forgiveness

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD

Psychologist, PhD
When chosen, forgiveness can be a powerful gift of freedom for yourself. But it is important to remember that forgiveness is not the same as forgetting or condoning harmful experiences. Forgiveness is not required or even recommended for all, but it can be a way to live life on your terms. Compassion for yourself and having experienced your pain is a starting place, and I'm here to support you along your journey.

San Diego, California therapist: Dr. Sven Schild, psychologist
Forgiveness

Dr. Sven Schild

Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with forgiveness involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Through ACT, clients learn to accept their emotions and commit to value-driven actions, fostering a deeper understanding and willingness to forgive. EMDR helps process and resolve traumatic memories that may hinder forgiveness, allowing clients to release past hurts and move forward. SE addresses the physiological aspects of holding onto grudges, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of inner peace. This holistic approach facilitates genuine forgiveness, promoting emotional healing and overall well-being.
