Forgiveness therapists in Kimberly, Wisconsin WI
Forgiveness
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!

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Forgiveness is about loss and grief. Often people want to approach this as if it's just something we can do and move on. In therapy you'll learn what is keeping you stuck, how to talk about what you lost, and ways to begin moving though those difficult feelings.

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.

Forgiveness is not always easy and can take time, especially when desiring to forgive ourselves. It's important to be curious about what forgiveness means to you and how to reach it in an authentic way.
