Resentment

This episode was Inspired by a Gal Pal listener, who suggested we unpack resentment. In this episode the gals hope to shed light and reduce the shame around this complicated emotion that everyone experiences. IN THIS EPISODE: Definition of resentment - a feeling of indignant displeasure or persistent ill will at something regarded as a wrong, insult, or injury The light and shadow sides of resentment It can be an indicator light that we might need to speak up for what we need and expect or confront a situation where we feel like we need an apology or resolution How do we move through it? Are we allowed to have expectations? How do we communicate our needs/expectations On forgiveness: "resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to get sick" Expectations are future resentments Is it reasonable to try to not have ANY expectations? Being okay with feeling uncomfortable/ disappointed when your expectations aren't met Examples: Keeping score in a relationship Feeling bitter about a sacrifice you had to make for someone and continuing to bring it up Feeling resentful that you have to be a caregiver for extended periods of time Resentment for parents who weren't able to care for you in the way you wanted/needed as a child Feeling taken advantage of in a work environment ____ EPISODES MENTIONED: Surrender Letting Go Friendship Hard Conversations ____ Don't forget to leave a review for us over on iTunes _____ CONNECT WITH US Instagram Join: Gal Pal Corral ENGRID Instagram: @livengproof Liveng Proof Podcast Website GEORGIE Instagram: @georgiemorley The Chasing Joy Podcast Website
