Forgiveness therapists in San Martin, California CA
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).

Ilah Brock - Central Valley Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht
How many of us hold grudges over the petty things of life? It is usually because of a defense we created. Forgiveness is not that difficult once you realize how easy it is and how much freedom you uncover because you have decided/chosen to forgive someone!
