Forgiveness in the Counseling Profession
Forgiveness is the process of, first, acknowledging that you were wronged by someone, whether it was a small, or a more grievous offense, secondly, surrendering the wrong that was committed by the offender, and then thirdly, working toward processing any residual triggers caused from the offense. Depending on the individual and situation, sometimes forgiveness can occur instantaneously or sometimes it can be a lifelong process. Jesus emulates forgiveness perfectly for humanity based on people’s need for forgiveness from their sin committed against a perfect and holy Creator. Forgiveness leads to holistic freedom: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and also, physically, regardless of a person’s level of proclivity toward Christianity or not.

Ask Why. Show How. Tell Do.
It started with a single conversation—one that left me both humbled and inspired. I was giving instructions to a junior colleague at work, explaining how to handle a client presentation. I spoke quickly, gave her a checklist, and moved on. Hours later, she approached me with a hesitant look and said:

Once A Child . Content Warning.
From the moment we open our eyes—crying in a cold, sterile hospital— the conditions of love begin to blossom. Living and growing in our mother’s bellies only holds a safe place for nearly a year before we were quite literally ejected into chaos we didn’t ask for. From that point on there are conditions to the amount of love and respect we receive. From birth when we are “good babies” in the nursery, the nurses praise us for our cooperation, whereas fussy babies, while still looked at as precious cute creations, are deemed more difficult. Though this example is rather vague and lacks depth into the true meaning of conditional love, it is a pivotal reminder of how we enter and leave this world. Alone.

A secret beyond the ego
They said the mind could heal in silence but Cathy didn’t believe it—until she came back to the farm. Her father’s death had pulled her out of the city, out of her sterile office and failed career in psychology. She called it a break. The truth was, she was broken, tired of talking people out of pain she hadn’t resolved in herself.

Therapy Didn’t Heal Me — It Helped Me Start Over
I used to believe that healing meant going back to who I was before everything broke. That somehow, through therapy, I would find a way to become her again—the girl who laughed easily, trusted quickly, and didn’t wake up every morning with a knot in her stomach.

I Didn’t Know It Was Trauma Until I Couldn’t Breathe
I used to think trauma looked like something dramatic. A car crash. A violent assault. War. The kind of stuff you see in movies, raw and loud. I didn’t know trauma could sit quietly inside you, like a sleeping dog. Until one day, it wakes up, snarling.
