Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness but it is the most powerful thing anyone can do. Forgiving sometimes can be very difficult and uncomfortable. Even when a person forgives, the person does not heal immediately. Forgiveness is not a denial of what happened neither does it wait for the offender to apologise.
Therapists will help the person to understand the situation of the offender, understand where he/she was wronged, help them to empathise towards them and find out the possible benefits of forgiving them. Research has shown that counselling that promotes forgiveness has a greater impact on the person’s life and that forgiveness helps people to come out of depression, reduces stress and anxiety; and the person tends to become more empathetic towards others. It helps them reduce negativity towards the offender and also the urge to take revenge reduces.
Here at Healtheminds, we have experts who have various approaches towards counselling. A common approach is Gestalt therapy. In Gestalt, a lot of past issues are helped to deal with effectively in the sessions. The feelings in the here and now are focused on as well as the thought and feelings in the past. This has shown to have intense and relieving effects on people.
Forgiveness and letting go can be a difficult task alone. Forgiving is not about others but it is about you. We are here to help you through that.
