You Don't Need to Forgive

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“As a trauma-informed therapist who encourages both forgiveness and acceptance in Anger Solutions practice, I questioned my suitability to support the premise of this book. However, after I had perused just a few pages, Amanda Gregory's message became clear: forgiveness is a choice, and it is one that is solely within the purview of the one who received the transgression. Forcing or pressuring one to forgive flies in the face of the spirit of forgiveness and its benefits. If you are a survivor of complex trauma or you struggle with challenges related to insecure or avoidant attachment, this book will shine light into dark places and will hold space for you as you work through your traumatic experiences and the scars they left behind.”
