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!

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I delve into the tender yet powerful realm of forgiveness. Understanding that forgiveness is often a journey of the heart fraught with complex emotions, I offer a compassionate and empathic space for clients. Together, we gently navigate the pain of past hurts, betrayal, and disappointment. My approach aims to guide clients towards releasing the burdens of resentment and anger, unlocking a path to healing and inner peace. It’s a transformative process, fostering self-compassion and the strength to forgive others, and perhaps most importantly, oneself. This journey is about rekindling a sense of freedom and lightness, opening the heart to the possibilities of renewed connections and a future unshackled from the past.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
When chosen, forgiveness can be a powerful gift of freedom for yourself. But it is important to remember that forgiveness is not the same as forgetting or condoning harmful experiences. Forgiveness is not required or even recommended for all, but it can be a way to live life on your terms. Compassion for yourself and having experienced your pain is a starting place, and I'm here to support you along your journey.
