Therefore it can be noted that substance use from this concept is a warning sign of “underlying resentments and related emotional disruptions” (Lin., et al, 2004 p. 1119-1120). Within the discussion there are specific suggestions for future research on comparison of Forgiveness therapy with other anger focused therapies.
This paper will also discuss what therapy is and does because when most people think of therapy, they think of counselors helping people with their problems no matter what. Even though therapy is a services provided to help the individual get to the root of the problem, people do not know if individual or group therapy is best for them.

In the Counseling profession, my Strength is my compassion and general desire to connect with people on a deep level. I want to know why one person’s past can affect their future and all those they come in contact with or why one chooses to bury an event and it takes another event, tragic or joyous to bring those feeling to the surface.

Hovarth and Symonds (1994) believe teamwork between therapists and client is the key element of a therapeutic alliance. It provides a safe environment for clients to explore themselves, a relationship where the client’s key issues are explored,
