Forgiveness therapists in New Berlin, Wisconsin WI
Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
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. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring and empathy-building exercises may be used to challenge negative perceptions and foster empathy toward oneself and others.

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.

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!
