The REACH Forgiveness Model

The REACH Forgiveness Model is a process designed to help individuals let go of resentment and rebuild peace. It involves five steps: Recall the hurt without blame, Empathize with the offender’s perspective, Acknowledge your feelings honestly, Commit to forgiving and releasing the pain, and Hold onto your decision through practice and reflection. This model encourages understanding and emotional healing, allowing people to move forward without carrying harmful grudges. It emphasizes that forgiveness is a personal choice and a process that promotes inner well-being and healthier relationships.
