There is a lot of talk about forgiveness these days. A popular notion is that we must forgive if we want to move forward but I find this a little confusing? I think to forgive oneself is important. Mega important. To understand why we do the things we do - and why someone else did to us what they did to us - is also important. But... Is it really up to us to judge and forgive someone else for their actions? Do we have that responsibility? We can hear their apology if one is forthcoming. But our responsibility is to ourselves (and to our young children). I believe we are free to choose how we wish to move forward and create our life from this moment. We are each of us, as adults, responsible for our own actions. People who have hurt us in some way are responsible for themselves. If forgiving is important to us, we can explore that. However Dr Rosenberg said that in order to be happy we must get to know ourselves, understand our needs and arrange our lives so that those needs are met. Our loved ones will naturally benefit from our happiness. (Of course we should never hurt anyone physically either, other than in self defence.)

I view forgiveness not as excusing someone’s harmful behavior, but as a way to release oneself from the heavy burden of resentment. I guide clients to first fully acknowledge and process their anger and pain, rather than forcing forgiveness prematurely. True forgiveness often grows from recognizing the pain or trauma that shaped the person who caused harm, which can ease judgment while honoring one’s own experience.

Forgiveness can be complicated, especially when hurt, resentment, disappointment, or guilt have been carried for a long time. Sometimes forgiveness is connected to other people, while other times it involves learning how to let go of anger toward yourself, make peace with the past, or move forward from experiences that still feel emotionally heavy.
I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore these experiences openly and honestly, without pressure to “just move on” before you’re ready. Together, we can work toward understanding, healing, and finding a way forward that feels genuine and meaningful to you.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As I've explored the idea and act of forgiveness, I've come to feel that the energy of forgiveness is akin to compassion. It's not saying that whatever happened was ok, and it's not saying that you're open to it ever happening again. But it's a journey towards finding compassion. And from compassion, forgiveness is possible. Not to benefit them, but so you can let go of the harm to yourself that you're carrying around with all the anger and hurt. You can find peace, and with that peace comes your own protection of your energy.
