Forgiveness therapists in Watsonville, 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).

Forgiveness
Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
You write 7 letters to your conflict partner (even if he has already died) Each letter has a different topic.
In no case are the letters intended for the addressee or the writing of this letter to be mentioned!
On the day you come to our session, read the letters to me. Even twice! I do my energetic work. Then you burn the seven letters ritually, e.g. outside in the park and let the ashes flow away from the stream to the river ...
You should NOT have any copies, and if you do you should definitely burn this one.
I will explain everything and send you the sample.
With this method you will soon lose your anger, your sadness and can breathe again!

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Forgiveness is an essential part of regaining wholeness and purpose in your life. Blame can keep you stuck and feeling disempowered. This process does not mean condoning inappropriate behavior. It is meant to facilitate growth and freedom in your life.
