forgiveness therapy

Forgiveness therapy can help individuals navigate these unhelpful emotions and facilitate a process of self-healing rather than focusing solely on the person who caused the pain. You do this by coming to terms with the hurtful situation so that it doesn’t burden you daily. The forgiveness process is desinged to help individuals move past anger and pain tied to past events and look into the beneficial role that forgiveness can play in healing. This therapy focuses on helping clients find balance, decrease negative emotions, and potentially increase compassion towards their offenders. Some people can forgive quickly, while others take a lot longer. The act of forgiving is one of realizing that holding onto anger and resentment carries a heavy weight on us. When we forgive, instead of only seeing our pain and suffering, we can begin to see the situation with complete acceptance as it is.
