Forgiveness therapists in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire NH
Ellen Ronka
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
I use energy psychology methods to target root causes of hurt so that forgiveness feels more possible. In fact, I don't suggest it be attempted until the hurt incurred is fully processed. I emphasize forgiveness as a path to serenity for oneself, not primarily something to do for the offending other. I have read extensively on spiritual and suffering, and encourage leaning into spiritual help for the act of forgiveness. I emphasize the difference between forgiveness, trust, healing, and reconciliation, because often it is confusion about the distinctions between these that holds up forgiveness.

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.

Psychologist, PhD
Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.
