Forgiveness
Christensen and Sons, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW: LCSW, LSW, PEL
Honest forgiveness it as the process that brings us to a place of peace in our hearts and acceptance that the past cannot be changed. The acceptance, that is achieved, will liberate us to become fully active again in our lives and a become a new influence. When we choose not to forgive we replay the circumstance in our mind over and over. We become a prisoner to our own history and stuck in the past and our future is absent of being in a place of being connected in our relationship. When we withhold forgiveness we can hurt ourselves.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Remember that the first inherent step of forgiveness is acknowledging that there is hurt and pain. We do not always realize that this may be the biggest hurdle to forgiveness. Sure our minds may tell us stories about that pain, but that is a way to avoid feeling it. Once we feel secure and strong enough to feel our pain we will let it go. Forgiveness is the catalyst for pain releasing, leaving wisdom in its place. When we forgive, we do not go back; we step forward into that wisdom and strength.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.
