“I was honored to receive this book as an ARC to review and endorse. I am so happy that a book like this is available for survivors, many of whom struggle with the concept of forgiveness. This is a much needed support tool for survivors and those who support them, and I will be recommending this book to clients and fellow clinicians!”

“I thought this book was going to be some anti-forgiveness manifesto, but it wasn’t. It’s an honest account of what complex trauma recovery is actually like. I appreciate that the author shared her own trauma experiences and her own recovery. She didn’t come across as a professional know-it-all, which a lot of self-help authors tend to do. The whole book was pretty relatable and helpful. The tools, scripts, and exercises were a good resource for me, as a trauma survivor myself. Also, the concept of elective forgiveness made a lot of sense, more sense than forcing it.”

“There are not many subjects I can think of that are as misunderstood as forgiveness. Especially as a therapist who came from a church background, I’ve said “forgiveness is not reconciliation” so many times, my head hurts. This book, then, is MUCH needed, and not like any other book I’ve ever read on the topic. If you see clients with trauma - even, or especially, if you are not a trauma therapist - you MUST read this if you want to be trauma-informed about forgiveness. Gregory defines trauma and forgiveness, discusses anger & shame, talks about religious influences and provides answers to forgiveness advocates. Two main takeaways from this book: 1. Forgiveness is always ELECTIVE, and 2. Forgiveness is not necessary for healing but safety is. Safety ALWAYS trumps forgiveness. Excellent book.”
