Glyndora Condon LPC of Heal and Hope Counseling Services, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Masters, Marriage and Family Therapy; Licensed Professional Counseling
When terrible things happen, we find someone or something to blame in effort to attempt to find some type of fairness in an unfair situation. But life is unfair and can often wound us. Without condoning wrongful treatment we still need to find a way to forgive, pray, and to let God work with their heart and life. It is not ours to exact revenge. Un-Forgiveness eats as a cancer, and it is we who suffer most even when we attempt to exact revenge yet feel no relief.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I believe one of the first steps in moving on from many experiences is to explore forgiveness. I work with clients to help them understand forgiveness and move in that direction individually depending on what their needs and desires to heal are. It is often time consuming and slow moving process.

Forgiveness is not always easy and can take time, especially when desiring to forgive ourselves. It's important to be curious about what forgiveness means to you and how to reach it in an authentic way.

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.
