I read recently that people can learn to forgive in as little as 2 or 3 hours. Can Forgiveness Therapy really be that quick?

We have to make a distinction between the hard work of forgiveness in therapy when the person has deep hurts from severe injustices and quick learning about forgiveness. The quick process can be effective when a person is confronting mild injustices from others and comes to such interventions with minimal emotional compromise.  The modern norms of finding quick solutions to everything can be an illusion to be avoided.  When deeply hurt by others’ cruelty, please be prepared to walk a path of forgiveness that is not quick.  This can lead to scientifically supported emotional health gains.
