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.

Forgiveness
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.

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.
