How Can I Forgive You? The Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not To

In this award-winning book, Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring challenges the traditional view that forgiveness is always necessary for healing, providing tools for individuals to overcome the pain of betrayal—such as from unfaithful partners, abusive parents, or others—without forgiving if they choose not to.

She presents a balanced model that allows hurt parties to move forward while also detailing what true offenders must do to earn forgiveness, drawing on her expertise in trust and intimacy issues.
