Different types

There are various forms of forgiveness interventions. One is where patients are forced to confront the entity that prevents them from forgiving by using introspective techniques and expressing this to the therapist. Another is getting the person to try to see things from the offender's point of view, so that they may understand the reasoning behind the offender's actions. If they can do this, they might be able to forgive the offender more easily.

Researchers have studied forgiveness interventions in relationships and whether or not prayer increases forgiveness. One study found that praying for a friend or thinking positive thoughts about that person every day for four weeks positively boosts the chances of forgiving that friend or partner, which leads to a better relationship.
