What is Forgiveness?
It’s helpful to distinguish between forgiveness and exoneration. Forgiveness is the internal process of releasing the heavy burden of resentment and the desire for retribution. Exoneration, on the other hand, implies that the person did nothing wrong or is "off the hook." You can forgive someone while still acknowledging that their actions were unacceptable.
Should I Forgive?
The question of "should" is deeply personal. A better question might be: Is it safe for me to do so? Emotional Safety: Does holding onto this anger protect you, or is it draining your energy? Physical Safety: Forgiveness does not mean putting yourself back in harm's way.
The Role of Boundaries
One of the biggest myths about forgiveness is that it requires reconciliation. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to bring them back into your life the way they were before—or at all. You can find peace with the past while maintaining a very firm "no" in the present.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself; a boundary is a gift you give your future.
We will work together to define what "moving on" looks like for you—whether that involves a restored relationship or a quiet, final goodbye.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Forgiveness isn't one-size-fits-all, and it is not the same as forgetting or excusing. I help you figure out what forgiveness would actually mean for you, if it's even the goal, and work through the grief and anger underneath it.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
For so many of my clients, the root of their issues lies in emotional and physical abuse, family dysfunction, or conflicts with people in their lives, whether it be family, work, community. Most hypnotherapists will tell you that freedom from negative feelings and healing can't be complete without forgiveness. Whenever working on such cases we always seek to move our clients towards forgiveness, so they can lay their conflict to rest and move on with their lives.

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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who are grappling with questions around forgiveness, including whether forgiveness is possible, appropriate, or even wanted. Difficulties around forgiveness often involve complex emotions such as anger, grief, guilt, loyalty, or fear of loss, and can be shaped by long-standing relational patterns.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore what forgiveness means in your specific context, without pressure toward resolution. Rather than assuming forgiveness as a goal, the focus is on understanding what has been held, protected, or avoided, and what feels truthful to you now. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
It is so easy to hold on to anger, resentment, self-criticism, rage, guilt, shame, and negative views of ourselves and others, yet all the research suggests that letting go and engaging in forgiveness is the healthiest solution for the one who forgives. It is hard to learn to forgive the self and others, but I believe we are all capable of working through that which keeps us stuck in the painful feelings and moving to a place of forgiveness.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Forgiveness is hard even when you've experienced something less significant, and can feel unnatural when it's about something really painful. When it comes to forgiving ourselves... well, that can feel downright impossible or unacceptable. Yet, it's an important step to finding peace within ourselves and living a happier life. Working through the pain and taking steps toward forgiveness takes courage. It's easier with a therapist who can guide the way and support you through it.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is not something you owe anyone, it’s not about pretending what happened was okay, can’t be rushed or forced. Forgiveness begins with making room for everything you feel and having your experience truly witnessed before any letting go.

I provide support for individuals navigating the process of forgiveness, helping clients work through hurt, resentment, and unresolved emotional pain. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and values-based interventions, I support clients in understanding the impact of past experiences while developing the capacity to release anger and move forward. My work emphasizes that forgiveness is a personal, empowering process—not condoning harm, but freeing oneself from its lasting effects—allowing clients to regain peace, clarity, and emotional balance.

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.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
"Myself, or someone else?" Good question. Maybe it's both. How do I know when I forgive...what if I cannot forgive? I'm hear to tell you that it's a process and neither is right or wrong.
