Forgiveness
Misty Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
Forgiveness is sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves but only when we decide that we are ready to forgive. The process of forgiveness cannot be rushed (and may never come and that is healthy too).

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
A friend of mine once said that not forgiving is like holding hot coals in your hands, threatening to throw them at someone, when all you get is burned hands -- better to drop the coals, through forgiveness, than keep getting burned. Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. It relieves you of the burden of carrying anger and resentment toward another, or even yourself. Healing is for yourself when you forgive another person. Their response to you forgiving them can be a bonus, but it isn't necessary, as proven by the fact that we can forgive people that are no longer alive.

I can support patients struggling with forgiveness. Many people find it challenging to move on after a significant rupture in a relationship or a traumatic event. I can help support during this process.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Forgiveness is quite frequently a component of the clinical work that I do. One guiding idea I share with my clients is that often it is more beneficial to forgive for the person forgiving than for the person being forgiven. An important distinction though is not to push people to forgive prematurely in such a way that it invalidates their feelings and concerns. Rather, I view forgiveness as something that can grow out of working through one's hurts. One important concept that my clients tend to find useful is compassion, not just for the other party, but for oneself as well.
