Forgiveness therapists in Santa Barbara, California CA

Holding judgement against ourselves or others can increase the burden of whatever challenge or hurt/harm we experience. Learning to let go of that extra burden not as an approval of what occurred but as a release into greater freedom for ourselves.  

By holding onto anger, resentment and hurt, we continue to create emotional distress in ourselves. Moving towards forgiveness is difficult, but can allow you to feel free of the heavy emotional burden.  

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!  

How to move beyond the unforgivable? That is a question. There is a way forward for those who wish to find it.  

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
