Forgiveness
Damalie Namale , Forerunner Counseling LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA.PCC
Forgiveness is a profound and transformative act that involves releasing feelings of resentment or anger towards someone who has caused pain or harm. It is not about condoning the hurtful behavior but rather freeing oneself from the emotional burden of carrying grudges. Forgiveness can contribute to one's mental and emotional well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and hostility. It often leads to a sense of liberation and inner peace. Furthermore, forgiveness can facilitate healing and restore damaged relationships by fostering empathy, understanding, and acceptance. Embracing forgiveness requires courage and self-reflection, but its impact on personal growth and interpersonal harmony is immeasurable.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* One of the hardest things to do is forgive, whether it be directed towards ourselves or someone else. We often view forgiveness as "giving in" or as letting ourselves or others off the hook. Many times, forgiveness is confused as a weakness when, in reality, it takes courageous strength. In our work together, you will come to understand that forgiveness is about bravely giving yourself the permission to let go of resentment and anger and that which no longer serves you. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Drawing upon my extensive experience in working with clients, I've observed that forgiveness is a profound and transformative journey for individuals seeking emotional healing. In my therapeutic approach, I employ EMDR therapy as a powerful tool to guide you on this path to forgiveness. Recognizing that the journey towards forgiveness begins with processing the events that have contributed to your emotional wounds, we delve deep into the core beliefs about yourself that have sprouted from these experiences.
Throughout my work with clients, I emphasize several fundamental principles about forgiveness. Firstly, it's essential to understand that forgiveness doesn't imply agreement with or condoning of the actions that have caused you harm. It also doesn't necessitate allowing the same hurt to be inflicted upon you again. It is possible to forgive and not forget. It is also possible to forgive without ever reconciling with the person who harmed you, as forgiveness is created and achieved for your own personal peace and well-being.
Forgiveness is not a one-time event; it is a process that unfolds through stages. In our therapeutic journey together, we explore the "why" behind your desire to forgive, which serves as a powerful catalyst for determining the "how." This process allows us to navigate the complexities of forgiveness with clarity and purpose, ultimately paving the way for emotional liberation and healing.
