How do we learn to forgive ourselves and others when we are unable to undo what has occurred?
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.

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.

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.
