You Don't Need to Forgive

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“You Don't Need to Forgive provides a validating and honest trauma-informed approach to understanding forgiveness and its potential harms. Forgiveness is often a sticking point for survivors who feel that it is a requirement. This book debunks those notions by examining existing research, as well as the experience of survivors. Therapists and survivors of all forms of trauma will find validation in this book, as well as the realization that forgiveness may not happen, and that's okay.”
