1/2 Confession ala Christianity has several distinct and important features. 1) The acknowledgement/ confession of a transgression against another being or God 2) An explicit signalling of being sorry for that transgression 3) a promise to endeavor not to do it again.

2/2 The priest/ forgiver must 1) implicitly or explicitly, acknowledge the transgression and the sincerity of the confessor 2) offer a penance to be enacted by the confessor, so that they feel they have atoned for their sins in an explicit way Just saying... may help.. curious

I think the penance can be real important. adds depth to the ritual.
