True, but unless the Holy Spirit prepares the heart to receive our good intentions , they usually boomerang. I myself have found the Holy Spirit is better at conviction through pointing to the Word- Jesus Christ.
When we have been hurt by someone, forgiveness indeed does not try to escape from the hurt through drugs or through retaliation. Your words that contrast “toxic psychiatry” with true forgiveness also show that we can speak the truth in love to those (like some psychiatrists) who hurt us or use us. Speaking as true prophets, we can expose the sin of others (and of ourselves), without seeking retaliation or their final judgment; we are seeking to be used by the Spirit to convict them of their sin so they will seek God’s forgiveness. This could be seen by some as also pointing the finger, but if it is spoken in love, without hostile intent, but with the intent that such sin should not continue, the Spirit can use this level of “judgment” to point the way to freedom from continuing such sin and from judgment (especially the final judgment).
