Forgiveness
Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
Forgiveness is a concept often at the heart of many relational matters, whether it is relationship with intimate partners, friends and acquaintances, or family. Surprisingly, the art of forgiving is not often brought up by therapists as a therapeutic goal for clients, partly because of the importance of therapeutic alliance -- the relationship between therapist and client believed to be central to how well therapy works. It has been my experience that most often when clients arrive at their own need to forgive, a deeper healing begins.

Forgiveness
Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
For many years forgiveness wasn't talked about very much in psychology or social work programs. That has changed. There is more and more research supporting it's importance in maintaining mental health. Openness to therapy and the process of forgiveness can really be a major step toward more happiness in your life.

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.

Forgiveness
Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Forgiveness is often less about others and more about finding peace within yourself. I help clients explore the emotions, patterns, and parts of themselves that hold onto pain, resentment, or anger. Together, we work toward release, self-compassion, and a sense of freedom that supports healing and growth.

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