Many clients come to therapy because they have experienced considerable injustice from others. Forgiveness has been shown to be one of the direct routes to effectively reducing a client’s anger, anxiety and depression while increasing their sense of hope and self-esteem in a way that is constructive and healing. One popular definition of forgiveness is to “cease to feel angry or resentful towards” someone. However, there is no simple or easy way for clients to cease to feel such emotions. Forgiveness is not simply excusing or forgetting.
