Forgiveness
Dr. Susan E. Schumacher
Licensed Professional Counselor, DA, LPC, LCPC, CCTP, EMDR Clinician
Gentle loving kindness for yourself is a foundation for beginning to explore forgiveness, which, sometimes, involves giving up the wish that the past could be different. At your pace, we will explore issues surrounding the challenges that lead to difficult circumstances, betrayals or traumas. We will be cautious to avoid false forgiveness or a rush to forgive before you are ready, and begin to understand what happened to you and how you would like to process that experience.

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.

Forgiveness is not for the other person but for you to be realized from the poison of holding on to grudges that have made you continuously unhappy.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Forgiveness is for ourselves not for the other person(s). If we are harboring resentments and grudges with people in our lives it's like pointing the finger and wanting them to suffer while we drink the poison. The hardest thing to do is forgive ourselves. Usually, we will blame then eventually forgive another person. Then we will blame and eventually forgive God. But ourselves? It's important to be gentle with ourselves for if we cannot forgive ourselves it becomes more difficult to forgive others. I have several different processes of forgiveness that will ultimately set us free! And, by the way, forgiveness does not mean forget. We learn from our own and others character defects. So sometimes it means we forgive and change the nature of our relationship with a person so we don't put ourselves in that or similar situations again.
