To Be Released From Debt: An Experiential Cognitive Model Of Forgiveness And Healing For A First Time Couple Infidelity with Dr. Steven Vensel.

This workshop outlines an approach that utilizes both cognitive and experiential interventions leading to forgiveness and reconciliation. Forgiveness is most often viewed as a spiritual or justice-oriented practice that places the responsibility of the forgiveness on the victim. However, forgiveness, as a financial term, means to be released from debt. As a financial construct, it would include itemizing the debt and determining how recompense is to be structured or a declaration of bankruptcy leading to the debt being forgiven with no further payment required.

Couples who have experienced a first time infidelity come to counseling in considerable brokenness and assisting them in the healing process is complex and challenging. For the offended, the infidelity is traumatic with deep visceral and emotional wounds. For the offender who is remorseful there seems to be no remedy or end to their guilt and shame. This innovative intervention addresses both experiences leading the way for forgiveness, reconciliation and healing.
