Forgiveness
Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Carrying deep hurt can feel like holding onto a heavy weight that quietly drains your peace and energy. Yet, standard advice to "forgive and forget" often feels invalidating and rushed. In our work together, forgiveness is never forced, nor does it mean excusing harm, minimizing your pain, or reconciling with someone who isn't safe. Instead, we take a compassionate approach to help you untangle yourself from the hold past wounds have on your present.

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.

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.

Forgiveness
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Questions of forgiveness can involve injury, grief, anger, responsibility, and the wish to be less bound by what has happened. We give these experiences time and attention, including what remains unresolved and what needs protection. The work allows your own understanding to develop around accountability, boundaries, repair, and the relationship you wish to have with yourself and others.
