Forgiveness
Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
Are you so angry or hurt by someone else's actions that you don't feel able to forgive your offender? Do you feel like forgiving would be letting your offender off the hook? Do you think that forgiveness means forgetting? Or that forgiving requires you to trust them again? What if your offender shows no remorse - does this mean you don't need to forgive?
If you're having difficulty forgiving or even understanding how to go about that, I can help you understand what forgiveness is and what forgiveness isn't. If you have a backpack of "rocks" labelled hurt, resentment and anger, I can help you "drop the rocks"?

Forgiveness
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a requirement for healing, but I believe it is a deeply personal choice. Drawing on over 15 years of experience working with survivors of complex trauma and abuse, I understand that for some, choosing not to forgive is a vital act of self-protection and boundary-setting.
In our work, there is no pressure to reach a state of forgiveness to 'earn' your peace. Instead, we focus on helping your 'parts' find relief from the burden of the past. Whether you choose to forgive or you choose to hold your boundary, my goal is to help you move toward a life of clarity and internal stability—free from the judgment of others and the weight of old wounds.

Forgiveness
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
There is a lot of talk about forgiveness these days. A popular notion is that we must forgive if we want to move forward but I find this a little confusing? I think to forgive oneself is important. Mega important. To understand why we do the things we do - and why someone else did to us what they did to us - is also important. But... Is it really up to us to judge and forgive someone else for their actions? Do we have that responsibility? We can hear their apology if one is forthcoming. But our responsibility is to ourselves (and to our young children). I believe we are free to choose how we wish to move forward and create our life from this moment. We are each of us, as adults, responsible for our own actions. People who have hurt us in some way are responsible for themselves. If forgiving is important to us, we can explore that. However Dr Rosenberg said that in order to be happy we must get to know ourselves, understand our needs and arrange our lives so that those needs are met. Our loved ones will naturally benefit from our happiness. (Of course we should never hurt anyone physically either, other than in self defence.)

Forgiveness
Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Forgiveness is about regaining trust, accepting and communicating kindness to the other, while being consistent and believing in displaying love which might have been withdrawn during those moments of uncertainty and emotional confusion. Once we begin to let go of the pain and let forgiveness into our heart, we can rediscover emotional freedom, and a peace of mind.

Forgiveness
Odette Quenneville
Registered Social Worker, BA - MSW
I guide individuals through the process of forgiveness, whether it’s forgiving others or themselves. Holding onto anger or guilt can take a toll, and I offer a non-judgmental space to explore these feelings. Through CBT and mindfulness, we’ll work to release past hurts and promote emotional healing, creating room for personal growth and healthier relationships.

Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
