Forgiveness counselling model CPD
Forgiveness is empowering, we aim to facilitate the forgiveness process by way of psychological research and also mindfulness.
In May 2018, Coventry university hosted an international forgiveness conference. While the concepts of forgiveness may have a religious connotation, the psychological industry is now looking deeper at it’s relevance for mental health. The British Psychological Society is now also beginning to investigate key concepts of this model such as the justice factor, revenge and reconciliation, the complexity and matrix of un-forgiveness, as well as the misunderstanding of what the process of forgiveness entails. Of particular importance are the effects of a life of non-forgiveness and how we may work with these concepts in a therapeutic setting.
