Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Forgiveness is not forced positivity — it’s a process. Together we explore hurt, accountability, and boundaries so that release becomes empowering, not self-abandoning. We always start with the self.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
There has been a great deal written on forgiveness and your desire to move towards that process shows a willingness to understand what injustice you have suffered and how that pain is still being held. This work takes time to recognize the violation, the power dynamics that were and are at play, and to move towards a sense of compassion and empathy.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Forgiveness is often one of the most challenging aspects of healing. Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool in this process, guiding individuals through the journey of forgiving themselves and others. During hypnotherapy sessions, clients can be gently led into a state of deep relaxation where they can safely explore and release feelings of anger, resentment, and betrayal. By tapping into the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy enables individuals to confront and process painful memories without being overwhelmed.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
The real purpose of forgiveness is to protect your own emotional and physical health by freeing you from anger, stress and negative thinking. It is more for you than it is for anyone else, and has nothing to do with regarding what happened as okay. You can still regret, disapprove of or feel devastated by what happened. And you can create the boundaries that are necessary for you to thrive and avoid further suffering. Forgiveness involves establishing a sense of peace and radical acceptance, acknowledging that past unjust events are unchangeable. And this frees you to move forward into new chapters and experiences. Self-forgiveness can free you from pointless persistent guilt and self-loathing. Forgiveness towards others can make relationship repair possible, if that is something you choose. More importantly it can limit the ongoing harm done to you by holding onto anger, resentfulness or guilt and replaying painful memories. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns, anger, trauma and pain, and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.
