Forgiveness Link hosts open house

Forgiveness has the power to heal physically and emotionally — something Rob Scott knows from experience — and he wants to help others discover that, too.

Scott, who lives in Louisville with his wife, Whitney Scott, has opened his own business, The Forgiveness Link: A Completely Different Approach to Emotional Healthcare, at two West Knox area locations: 222 S. Peters Road and 117 Center Park Drive, Suite 333.

The couple is hosting an open house to discuss the science behind it at the Peters Road location in the Alma Diem office building from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, July 26.

Rob is a practitioner for the Emotional Polarity Technique, founded and promoted by Dr. Annette Cargioli, who is a longtime family friend of Whitney’s.

While she grew up familiar with the term and process, her husband only knew of it in theory until earlier this year — and at the time, worked in a completely different field.

“I was an advisor for a local financial company when we had the chance to attend one of Dr. Cargioli’s events in January called ‘Change for Good,’” he explained. “There, I had my own life-changing experience.”

Suffering for many years with unexplained and untreatable mid-back pain, Rob said after attending the session he was pain free.

“No doctor, chiropractor or massage therapist could touch the pain I experienced,” he said.

“But through my first EPT session, I discovered that I had a lot of unresolved anger and conflict stemming from the announcement that my parents were divorcing when I was 8 years old,” Rob added.

“By end of that session, the pain was gone.”

Not only was Rob healed, but the experience also drove him to choose a new career path.

“It has helped me so much,” he said. “It has had a huge impact on our marriage, and it has brought about healing in some other relationships. I just wanted to bring about this healing for others.”

As both he and Whitney are Christians, Rob said the commonality between EPT and Biblical principals was another factor in his decision.

“EPT is backed by science, which shows that forgiveness really does bring healing, both physically and emotionally,” Rob said.

“It’s as if science is finally catching up to the Bible. But the practice itself really is Biblically-based. It is God’s love doing the work, I just get to be the conduit.”

Rob began studying in earnest in March, and with Whitney’s assistance on marketing and administration, launched The Forgiveness Link in May.

“He does the work, I just try to get people in the door,” she said.

Rob remains a student, but will be fully-accredited later in the year.

Hours are typically from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., five days a week. The business is closed on Thursdays and Sundays.
