Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Opening the Door to Freedom with Forgiveness Therapy

Wayne Kauppila · 2007
62/100
👎 Skip It

Kauppila's method — using forgiveness to dissolve resentments in addiction recovery — is clinically grounded and grew out of fourteen years of real practice with real clients. At 84 pages it is accessible, and the companion workbook adds practical value. Self-published through Lulu with no formal peer review and thin evidence citation, this is a niche resource best suited to counselors already familiar with forgiveness-based work rather than a general reader's first pick on recovery.
