Forgiveness
Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
Pathways To Connection therapists help you work through forgiveness by using a therapeutic approach that helps individuals release resentment, anger, and pain associated with past wrongdoings. It encourages self-reflection and emotional healing by guiding you through the process of understanding your feelings, challenging negative thought patterns, and finding compassion—both for yourself and others. The goal is not to forget or condone the hurtful actions, but to let go of the emotional weight that keeps you trapped in the past.

Forgiveness
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Forgiveness is not a simple decision, and it does not mean excusing what happened. We can take a thoughtful approach that respects your values and your boundaries. Sometimes the goal is forgiveness, and sometimes it is clarity and release. Either way, the work is about loosening the hold of the past so you can move forward with more peace and self-respect.

Forgiveness
Mary Elisabeth Bonneson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, NCC, , BCPCC
Research indicates that forgiveness is an essential component of physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. Instead of clinging to resentment or bearing a grudge, learn to experience the freedom, healing, and growth available to you when you invest in a forgiveness process. Make room for joy and peace to reside more fully in you when you choose to forgive.

Forgiveness
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Whether you got betrayed or did something to hurt someone else, approaching forgiveness is not easy. There are complex factors involved, including our personal histories and the current context of the situation. Sometimes taking responsibility looks differently than we first thought, and that too can be hard to accept. When we approach forgiveness with respect for ourselves and the other person, we can approach it with dignity. Humans mess up, and humans can make amends or repair what's possible to repair. We can forgive without returning to the same situation. We can forgive and need to address the issue again later, from another layer or standpoint. Forgiveness is a process, that hopefully results- after addressing harm or hurt thoroughly- in feeling lighter, freer, and happier.

Forgiveness
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Forgiveness is a loaded word. I'm not interested in telling you who to forgive, or how. But if you find yourself focused on the events surrounding a specific person, there might be some survival energy, emotional or physical, tied into that situation.
Using Somatic Experiencing to express and move that survival response so you feel safe again can help you 'un-fixate' from that person...and some may call that forgiveness. I prefer the term 'moving on', but we all have different language for this kind of thing.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino and East African communities — particularly Hmong and Somali residents — are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
