That is that minister's opinion. Your opinion may be different. I KNOW my opinion is different.
My T has never once mentioned "forgiving" my abusers. It's not on my radar. I think, like Miss C said, there is a certain peace I need to come to, but I don't believe it must - or will - include "forgiveness".
I'm hoping therapy will bring me to that place of peace. So yes, for me, therapy DOES matter.
