Forgiveness
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
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 help you break down the barriers of Forgiveness by offering focused-based techniques. Forgiveness means different things to different people. Sometimes it's a decision of "letting go" of toxic feelings that keep you stuck or trapped with an unpleasant experience or person. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness helps you to go on with your life in a healthier way. Forgiving yourself is the first step of Self-love, Self-care, and Self-acceptance. You embrace your Truthfully.

Forgiveness
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Forgiving someone who has hurt us can be challenging sometimes especially when we don’t have adequate tools to first process our pain. One of the ways we will be working together is to explore what forgiveness means to you as the term is unique to each client. Forgiving goes beyond acceptance. In order to help you develop tools for forgiveness I can help you better understand what factors are blocking you from your ability to forgive. Once people process their pain and eventually feel capable of forgiving, they are often able to let go of past hardships, which helps them view their future through a more hopeful and optimistic lens. If you are someone struggling with forgiveness, feel free to contact me. It is never too late to make a change.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with forgiveness, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
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.
