Course Description:
Many clients struggle for years with unresolved issues of anger, resentments, and bitterness, yet few practitioners have been specifically trained in forgiveness therapy. Forgiveness remains one of the most misunderstood of psychological dynamics, not just for clients, but also for some therapists. This course presents some different conceptualizations of forgiveness and misunderstandings (e.g., forgiveness is forgetting) that prevent people from being able to forgive. Models of forgiveness therapy are also described, with the objective of finding meaning in the struggle to forgive and developing personal techniques for refuge and healing.
Learning Objectives:
- Show clients distinguish between authentic forgiveness from “pseudo-forgiveness.”
- Apply conceptualization of forgiveness appropriate to the client's needs and the situation.
- Demonstrate to clients the processes of forgiveness therapy.
- Role-play with clients in building a skill set for sustaining their own healing process.
