Claudia Owens Shields
Psychologist, M.A., Ph.D.
There are many myths about "forgiveness." The one I hear most often is that people think that it involves pretending that the hurt someone has caused was "okay" and should be ignored and simply forgotten. I believed healing from a suffered wrong begins with a full and honest acknowledgment of the hurt, and engagement in a set of healthy processes that can gradually, over time transform the pain into strength and peace. From that position of strength one is better able to legitimately "let go."

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
Forgiveness means accepting the idea that you'll never have a better past. This means that forgiveness work is grief work.
There are two kinds of forgiveness: the kind where someone apologizes, and the kind where you have to forgive someone in spite of a lack of apology. If you're trying to forgive someone who won't or can't apologize, the work is about finding reasons to do so within yourself. If you'd like support in forgiving someone (including yourself), reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Forgiveness is an essential part of regaining wholeness and purpose in your life. Blame can keep you stuck and feeling disempowered. This process does not mean condoning inappropriate behavior. It is meant to facilitate growth and freedom in your life.
