What is the theory behind this Forgiveness Group Therapy Worksheet?
The act of forgiveness, albeit hard, is very beneficial for one’s mental well-being. Individuals who have been wronged by others tend to hold onto intense feelings of resentment that take up much of their energy. Forgiving the wrongdoers, choosing compassion, and making peace with what happened is the only way forward. Depending on the objectives of group therapy, a session on the importance of forgiveness can be beneficial.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will provide a list of discussion questions that therapists can use in group therapy settings to initiate a conversation on the topic of forgiveness. These questions will help the participants ponder on the true meaning of forgiveness and how they can benefit from it to ease their burdens before moving on to engaging in forgiveness-related activities.
How to use the worksheet?
Therapists can use the questions in this worksheet to initiate discussions on forgiveness in group therapy settings. They can modify the questions to meet the objectives of their group therapy sessions. Any additional notes or questions can be written in the blank space provided.
