Course overview

What forgiveness is - and what it's not - in trauma therapy Avoid clinical missteps that can hurt clients and derail progress Strategies that welcome anger and embrace appropriate blame Elective forgiveness interventions that are client-led and never forced or premature Includes a printable client's guide and survivor's workbook In trauma work, forgiveness often comes up with clients. They've heard things like "you need to forgive to heal." If you're like most therapists you're not sure there's even a clear definition of forgiveness - or what role if any it should play in treatment. Here's the thing. If you get forgiveness in therapy wrong you can do a lot of damage ... especially if clients think you're asking them to "let it go", make peace with an abuser, or that forgiveness is some kind of "required step" on the journey to trauma recovery. But when explored gently and on the client's terms - forgiveness can become a powerful tool. The key is knowing if, when, and how to bring it into the work. Now with this one-day training Amanda Ann Gregory, author of You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms will help make it all clear with the clinical insights and practical strategies you need to navigate forgiveness in a way that supports, rather than derails, your clients' healing.
