Chad's been hurt... a lot. He's had to forgive... a lot. He's need to be forgiven... arguably even more. Fortunately, he has tools like the 7 Steps of Forgiveness that can help.
The ability to forgive is a central trait is helping people move past the negative emotions surrounding many family and relationship issues. While forgiveness is not required in all situations, for some, the issue of extending grace is paramount in helping escape the bondage of emotional upheaval and obsessive thinking.
Forgiveness is a process. Someone who has wronged us can build intense anger, resentment, and bitterness. It can affect our relationship with self and others. Forgiveness does not mean reconciliation with the offender. It does not mean accepting or forgetting the wrongdoing. Let us discover together how we can deepen our understanding of forgiveness and what that means to you.
Are you noticing that the burden of resentment or self-blame has become too difficult to carry? Do you find yourself stewing on events from the past - locked in painful waves of anger, regret, disappointment, and self-doubt? Are you looking for clarification and emotional freedom?
Learning to cultivate forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or denying the pain of your experience. It also doesn't mean having to say or do something for another person. It is all about doing something meaningful for you. It involves learning to give back to yourself what has been lost, reclaiming who you were before and nurturing self-forgiveness.
I am here for you, holding a safe and supportive space. Together you and I will explore ways to hold yourself kindly, develop skills to manage the pain and weather the emotional storms, and begin to reconnect with what is essential for how you want to live your life now.
While forgiveness can often be difficult, it can be a tremendous opportunity to help you heal and move past difficult moments or traumas in your life. Book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit for therapy.
