Name 1 question from phase 1 

Help the client to understand the psychological defenses happening within them.

Help them recognize and acknowledge the anger they feel, and evaluate the psychological harm caused by the offense (Akhtar & Barlow, 2018).

  •  To what extent have I denied/attempted to forget – that I was hurt and the suffering that I experienced as a result?  
  • Have I avoided feeling and dealing with my anger & suffering? In what ways?
  • In what ways have I tried to feel and face my anger? 
  •  To what extent do I avoid exposing, or experiencing any shame or guilt? 
  • In what ways does my unresolved anger affect my physical and emotional health, relationships, and work productivity? 
  • To what extent am I obsessed or preoccupied with how I was offended and/or with my offender?  
  • To what extent do I compare my own life situation with that of my offender? 
  • To what extent has the offense caused permanent, difficult change(s) in my life? 
  • How has the offense changed my worldview, i.e., in what ways do I now believe or perceive that “the world” – or God – are (no longer) as just or loving?  (Sutton, 2012)

Phase 2 is  Decision Making - help the client gain an accurate understanding of the nature of forgiveness and makes a decision to commit to forgiving on the basis of this understanding. Name 1 question. 

  • What is – and isn’t – forgiveness? 
  • To what extent do I experience that, although I have tried – or am sincerely trying – to forgive, I realize that emotionally I haven’t? 
  • What stops me from courageously confronting my offender’s unjust actions toward me – both internally and directly? 
  • To what extent may I “idolize” or “demonize” my offender – i.e., regard him or her either as not needing my forgiveness or as being unforgivable? 
  • Am I willing to consider forgiving my offender (i.e., willing to become willing to forgive?) 
  • What hasn’t worked for me so far in trying to forgive my offender? 
  • What stops me from being (or becoming more) willing to try to forgive now? 
  •  To what extent have I decided to forgive – am I committed to trying to forgive now – (perhaps again)? (Sutton, 2012)

Phase 4 -Deepening - help the client find meaning in their suffering (Akhtar & Barlow, 2018). 

State 1 question you could ask.



  • In what ways have I grown through my efforts to feel & deal with my suffering & anger, & to act with compassion & and mercy toward my offender.  
  • In what ways have my efforts to forgive set me free – freed from unwanted emotional suffering and freed for having a better relationship with the offender (perhaps), others, myself and God? 
  • In what ways do I recognize that I am not alone in my suffering – that others share my suffering & I theirs, whether we suffer for the same reasons or not?  
  • To what extent have I discovered my own need to be forgiven, to seek and ask for forgiveness, perhaps even from my offender, or from someone else whom I have offended? 
  • What meaning am I discovering in and through my suffering and my trying to forgive and, if appropriate, to be forgiven? 
  • What am I learning about my purpose in life & how I may be called to help others (Sutton, 2012)?
