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.)

Forgiveness
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Emotion-focused and trauma-informed therapy.
Forgiveness is never treated as something a client must provide. We explore anger, grief, hurt, boundaries, self-forgiveness, and what moving forward means for the individual. The focus is on healing rather than minimizing or excusing harmful behaviour.

Forgiveness is letting yourself free. Forgiving doens't mean you forget or that what happened was okay. It's releasing you from the weight that is not yours to carry.

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.

Forgiveness
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Forgiveness can have a lot of different meanings depending on who you talk to. I believe forgiveness is about being able to acknowledge that someone has hurt us, but not letting that hurt dictate how we think, act, or feel. This can be an incredibly difficult place to get to depending on how we were hurt. I work with people on acknowledging the hurt, processing how it has affected them, figuring out how this hurt affects their lives now, and how to move forward in a way that honours their pain while beginning to heal it.
