Forgiveness
Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
The problem with holding onto anger is that it keeps you in misery. It’s as if a fist inside of you is ready to strike, and where there’s a ready fist, it’s hard to feel happy. Also, holding onto anger ties you to the person you’re angry at. You will never be free of that person unless and until you find a way to forgive him or her. It is important to recognize that forgiving does not mean allowing continuing abuse, or even necessarily being in contact with someone who severely hurt you in the past. Rather, forgiving lets you restore the normal flow of energy within yourself and opens your heart again to love. It means completely accepting the sadness of the experience that led to pain, and embracing the lessons offered by that experience. It means letting go of anger and instead, cultivating wisdom, and that can be difficult. That’s where coaching can be so helpful. I'll help you to shift the energy that has you bound in a knot. Whether you need help forgiving your parents, or forgiving your children, or forgiving neighbors or friends or yourself or even people you barely know, let's work together so you can return you to the place of love and peace and joy where life feels good again.

Forgiveness is often confused with trust. Forgiveness involves giving up expectations, acceptance of the situation, and compassion for self and others.

I delve into the tender yet powerful realm of forgiveness. Understanding that forgiveness is often a journey of the heart fraught with complex emotions, I offer a compassionate and empathic space for clients. Together, we gently navigate the pain of past hurts, betrayal, and disappointment. My approach aims to guide clients towards releasing the burdens of resentment and anger, unlocking a path to healing and inner peace. It’s a transformative process, fostering self-compassion and the strength to forgive others, and perhaps most importantly, oneself. This journey is about rekindling a sense of freedom and lightness, opening the heart to the possibilities of renewed connections and a future unshackled from the past.
