Forgiveness
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Forgiveness is not a destination, but a place to visit and spend time. When people are betrayed either by a friend, family member, romantic partner, or co-worker, the hurt is profound. Sometimes, as with someone who has passed, there is no opportunity to gain closure. Forgiveness work is about exploring your feelings, but also learning skills you can use to work through the pain and get to a place of acceptance.

Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
This has been the subject of many workshops that I have given people. Forgiveness is not the same as being reconciled. That's a key difference. It is vital for you to not stay bitter and get on with life. On my website you will see listed "Steps to Forgiveness" in a blog I wrote. See: https://connect-talk.com/books-prayers-articles-blogs/ and look at: "Stuck on How to Forgive?" That being said, unless you have had your pain validated in some way, it may be very difficult to you. So when we work with both big and little hurts and traumas, there is a process I can take you through. It is very useful to have a therapist understand and validate what has happened to you, as well as helping the person who hurt you empathize with the effects of their actions on you. This is not always possible, but when I work with a willing couple, often times it does indeed occur in the process of attaining reconciliation and empathic understanding Give it a try!

Forgiveness
Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We will explore your emotions, beliefs, and experiences related to past hurts or grievances. I can help you understand the benefits of forgiveness for your own well-being, such as reducing anger and resentment, improving mental health, and promoting healthier relationships. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring and empathy-building exercises may be used to challenge negative perceptions and foster empathy toward oneself and others.
