Forgiveness
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Forgiveness
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Carrying resentment, past hurts, or unresolved grievances can act like an invisible anchor, keeping you tied to pain long after the event has passed. Forgiveness is rarely a simple or straightforward path, and it doesn't mean forgetting, excusing, or minimizing what happened—rather, it is a deeply personal journey toward freeing yourself from the weight of the past. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work collaboratively to untangle the complex emotions surrounding the hurt, gently explore what forgiveness could look like for you on your own terms, and help you reclaim your peace and emotional freedom.

Forgiveness
Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
Carrying the weight of past hurts, betrayal, or lingering self-blame can feel like living with an invisible anchor. When anger, regret, or resentment linger beneath the surface, it’s often your own energy, peace, and daily present life that end up paying the price. You shouldn't have to carry the burden of someone else's actions, nor should you feel forced into a version of forgiveness that feels fake or unsafe.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, our therapists offer a safe, non-judgmental space to help you explore forgiveness on your own terms. Using compassionate, evidence-based approaches, we meet you right where you are—whether you're working to forgive someone who hurt you, seeking self-forgiveness, or deciding if forgiveness is even the right path for you right now.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Release the Grip of Past Hurt: Safely process grief, anger, and betrayal without pressure, allowing you to untangle yourself from the emotional weight of resentment.
- Practice Genuine Self-Forgiveness: Unpack self-blame, regret, and harsh self-criticism, replacing them with deep self-compassion and inner quiet.
- Redefine Forgiveness on Your Terms: Discover that letting go is not about excusing harmful behavior or forcing unwanted reconciliation—it’s about reclaiming your own emotional freedom and well-being.
You don't have to remain bound to the pain of the past. Let’s partner together to help you lay down the weight, reclaim your peace, and move forward into a life that belongs entirely to you.

Forgiveness
Florence MacGregor
Registered Psychotherapist, MFA, MPS, Embodiment Coach
Forgiveness is challenging when you are innocent and the perpetrator is not willing to be accountable for their actions. It is not something that happens over night and it is not always to even accept for yourselfm even if you are innocent. Patience, courage and allowing all of your emotions to be accepted with respect, serves to heal personal boundaries and respect. You are worthy of care, love and support.
