Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms
Featured in The New York Times, “10 Ways to Keep Your Mind Healthy”
Feeling pressured to forgive offenders is a common reason trauma survivors avoid mental health services and support. Trauma psychotherapist Amanda Ann Gregory explores the dangers of forced forgiveness and the benefits of elective forgiveness, which gives survivors the agency to progress in their recovery on their own terms.
Bringing together research and testimony from psychologists, criminologists, philosophers, religious leaders, and trauma survivors, Gregory shows that forgiveness is helpful for some but not universally necessary for healing, and that each person should have the power to choose their own path to peace.
“A valuable resource for clinicians and patients that navigates questions of forgiveness with tact.” Foreword Reviews
