Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Remember that the first inherent step of forgiveness is acknowledging that there is hurt and pain. We do not always realize that this may be the biggest hurdle to forgiveness. Sure our minds may tell us stories about that pain, but that is a way to avoid feeling it. Once we feel secure and strong enough to feel our pain we will let it go. Forgiveness is the catalyst for pain releasing, leaving wisdom in its place. When we forgive, we do not go back; we step forward into that wisdom and strength.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Whether you got betrayed or did something to hurt someone else, approaching forgiveness is not easy. There are complex factors involved, including our personal histories and the current context of the situation. Sometimes taking responsibility looks differently than we first thought, and that too can be hard to accept. When we approach forgiveness with respect for ourselves and the other person, we can approach it with dignity. Humans mess up, and humans can make amends or repair what's possible to repair. We can forgive without returning to the same situation. We can forgive and need to address the issue again later, from another layer or standpoint. Forgiveness is a process, that hopefully results- after addressing harm or hurt thoroughly- in feeling lighter, freer, and happier.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with forgiveness, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to understand the root causes of their struggles with forgiveness, such as past traumas or deeply held beliefs. I offer techniques and strategies to help them process their emotions, including mindfulness, journaling, and guided imagery. We also explore the concept of empathy, helping patients understand the perspective of the person who wronged them. Together, we identify and challenge any barriers to forgiveness, such as resentment or fear of vulnerability. My goal is to empower patients to find their own path to forgiveness, whether it involves reconciliation or simply letting go of negative emotions and moving forward with their lives.

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.

Forgiveness is often misunderstood as something we do for someone else. It's not-it is for us. And there is much more to it than just saying "I forgive them." Call to talk over what, who, and why you want to forgive.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
"Forgiveness Equals Freedom". Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the past — it’s about freeing yourself from it. Holding on to pain keeps you chained to what hurt you, but letting go invites peace, healing, and renewal. True forgiveness doesn’t say, “It was okay.” It says, “I’m ready to move forward.” Through faith, courage, and compassion, you can release resentment and reclaim your joy. God’s grace reminds us that we are forgiven so we can forgive — not because others deserve it, but because we deserve peace. Forgiveness is the bridge between pain and freedom — and it begins with your choice today.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger and depression may stem from lack of forgiveness of either others or self. We all have been hurt and may have difficulty with forgiving the unforgivable. We often forget that we all make mistakes and no human is perfect. Forgiveness can be difficult but is essential for healing as an individual and in relationships. Lets work on helping you to be able to give grace to others and yourself, so you can work on healing.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unforgiveness keeps the old identity running. Resentment, guilt, and unresolved hurt aren't just emotional they're wired into your nervous system and show up in how you perform, lead, and relate. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work at the subconscious level to neutralize the emotional charge attached to past events, freeing up the mental bandwidth high performers need to operate at full capacity.

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.
