Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness: Sometimes in relationship, we do and say things that hurt another person. We can then have a lot of self-judgment and judgment of others that does not serve us. It is important, in order to move past the anger and hurt fo forgive others and mostly ourselves, in order to go on from the situation from a place of greater clarity and wisdom.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. When we have been wronged, there is a desire for justice, and a desire to protect ourselves from future hurts. I walk with people to help them forgive and heal from the wound that was caused

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."

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.

Forgiveness is the choice to release yourself from carrying around the weight of past hurts. While it sounds simple, it can be a difficult process to walk through. With help, you can face your hurt and begin to heal.
