Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship. You can forgive a person while in no way believing that their actions were acceptable or justified.
Clients who continue to hang on to painful emotions related to a mistreatment—even though they have every right to hold those emotions—can receive great benefit from forgiveness therapy. A number of positive outcomes, such as reductions in depression, resentment, and rumination, have been associated with forgiveness.

Fran Grove-White
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. Dip Ish, CGPA, CHTA
The power of forgiveness is often very surprising and many have difficulty with this. It is often conflated with forgetting and being used as a doormat or letting someone off scot free. The hardest one to forgive is often oneself.

When forgiveness is elusive it’s often because we’re in pain or angry. At Transforming Emotions, we will help you better understand what stands between you and forgiveness including the boundaries that need to be re-established, the healing that needs to occur, the blocks from the past that need to be removed, and even whether forgiveness is a necessary step in moving forward.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Forgiveness is a process like anything else; it takes time and it is important to realize it is ultimately optional. Forgiveness is for us; not for them and it doesn't mean condoning their behavior. It simply means in time we move on from it though this can take time.

Headway Mental Health
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex and transformative journey of forgiveness. Drawing from my own personal experiences and professional training, I understand the profound impact that holding onto resentment, anger, and hurt can have on one's emotional well-being and relationships. I believe that forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing and growth, allowing individuals to break free from the chains of pain and find inner peace. In our sessions, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deep-rooted emotions and beliefs that may be preventing you from embracing forgiveness. Together, we will work towards understanding the underlying reasons behind your pain and examine how forgiveness can bring about profound healing and liberation. Utilizing various evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, I will guide you in developing strategies to let go of resentment and cultivate compassion for yourself and others. Through this transformative process, you will gain a deeper understanding of forgiveness as a personal choice and empower yourself to heal, rebuild trust, and foster healthier relationships. My mission is to support you on your journey towards forgiveness, helping you find the strength, resilience, and inner peace necessary to create a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Sometimes bad things happen to nice people. We can find ourselves stuck as a result of these situations and it can be difficult to move forward or even see anything else. Our perspective can become distorted by the perceived "boulder in the middle of the road". Holding these negative emotions on a regular basis inside our bodies can even make us physical ill. If you are finding yourself dealing with this challenge, consider that hypnosis is an excellent tool you can use to reach the crux of the problem and allow you to move forward.
