If the hurtful interaction has not yet ended, then I'm not sure that forgiveness is a real option. I think, to forgive, one must first feel safe.
If it has ended, then in my experience forgiveness becomes unnecessary if emotional healing has occurred. Emotional healing can occur in many ways, but the most efficient approach is to sit down in meditation, focus on the hurtful situation and the feelings it carries, and then find unconditional love for the part of you that's holding those feelings. Radiate love to it from the heart for a while. Once it relaxes, ask it to release the painful emotions it's holding.
Once that's done, no further healing or forgiveness is necessary because the hurt is fully dissipated.
