Forgiveness therapists in Interlaken, California CA
Forgiveness
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.

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).

Nancie Kohlenberger
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.

Elaine Quattro
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Psychotherapy is treatment for the soul which is made up of free will, reasoning mind, feelings and emotions. You are the expert of your own experiences and hurt often leads to unforgiveness. The psychotherapist is an expert on process as well as relationship dynamics, belief systems and defense mechanisms. In each session, the client shares whatever is on their mind and the therapist helps through this exploration to bring insight, provide support, understanding and tools. Together the client and the therapist identify and look at unforgiveness toward oneself and others with a clear plan of action that is in line with your beliefs.
