Forgiveness is a great theory but can often be a challenging reality. You may feel enraged for understandable reasons. When we arrive in real forgiveness we feel liberated. But this takes guidance and good tools. Forcing it only leads to more anger. With a safe place to be heard and heal, you will eventually experience enjoyable energy for life. You will create positive experiences and the pain that was trapping you will be erased. Get help to turn a concept into an actual experience so your life can feel much better.

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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Forgiveness is not forgetting, excusing, reconciling, or surrendering the right to name what happened. It does not require restored access, renewed trust, or freedom from anger, and it cannot be demanded on someone else’s timeline. When forgiveness becomes meaningful, it is a personal release from carrying the injury as an ongoing obligation, not a pardon that protects the person who caused it from accountability. Therapy can help separate forgiveness from reconciliation, grieve what cannot be repaired, and determine what peace looks like when boundaries, distance, or no contact remain necessary.
