What is Forgiveness?
It’s helpful to distinguish between forgiveness and exoneration. Forgiveness is the internal process of releasing the heavy burden of resentment and the desire for retribution. Exoneration, on the other hand, implies that the person did nothing wrong or is "off the hook." You can forgive someone while still acknowledging that their actions were unacceptable.
Should I Forgive?
The question of "should" is deeply personal. A better question might be: Is it safe for me to do so? Emotional Safety: Does holding onto this anger protect you, or is it draining your energy? Physical Safety: Forgiveness does not mean putting yourself back in harm's way.
The Role of Boundaries
One of the biggest myths about forgiveness is that it requires reconciliation. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to bring them back into your life the way they were before—or at all. You can find peace with the past while maintaining a very firm "no" in the present.
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself; a boundary is a gift you give your future.
We will work together to define what "moving on" looks like for you—whether that involves a restored relationship or a quiet, final goodbye.

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is often treated like a requirement for healing, but it’s more complicated than that. Many people are told they “need” to forgive in order to move forward, and when they can’t, it creates even more shame on top of what they’re already carrying. In reality, forgiveness is not a prerequisite for healing. In therapy, we focus on helping you sort through what forgiveness actually means to you, not what you’ve been told it should look like. If you decide that forgiveness is something you want to work toward for yourself, we absolutely do that. But the goal is not to force it. The goal is to help you process what happened and reduce the hold it has on your life, whether forgiveness becomes part of that or not.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Forgiveness is not something you owe anyone, it’s not about pretending what happened was okay, can’t be rushed or forced. Forgiveness begins with making room for everything you feel and having your experience truly witnessed before any letting go.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals navigating the process of forgiveness, helping clients work through hurt, resentment, and unresolved emotional pain. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and values-based interventions, I support clients in understanding the impact of past experiences while developing the capacity to release anger and move forward. My work emphasizes that forgiveness is a personal, empowering process—not condoning harm, but freeing oneself from its lasting effects—allowing clients to regain peace, clarity, and emotional balance.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Alignwell Modern Therapy
Counselor/Therapist
Unresolved hurt and resentment can weigh heavily on emotional well-being. Therapy can help you process painful experiences, explore what forgiveness means to you, and move toward greater peace and emotional freedom. We can support you as you move through this process, so you don't have to do it alone.
