Forgiveness
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.

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.
