Ep 161: What Resentment Might Be Trying to Tell You


Listen Later

Resentment usually shows up as a low-level annoyance, something small that you tell yourself isn’t a big deal. But when ignored, it can build into a bigger issue that you can’t simply brush off, such as serious strain on your relationships or tension at work. But the way to stop that from happening isn’t by pushing your resentment down, it’s by listening to what it’s trying to tell you.

What are you feeling resentful about right now? Maybe your job is draining you, or you're in a relationship that seems one-sided. Or maybe it's the way someone leaves dirty dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher. Whatever it is, your resentment isn't a problem. It's your inner wisdom trying to get your attention, guide you toward what you need, and protect you from continuing to abandon yourself. The real problem comes when you ignore it, judge it, or tell yourself you shouldn't feel it.

In this episode, I share examples that highlight how resentment shows up and how you can identify what it’s actually trying to tell you so you can take small steps toward relief, self-trust, and stronger relationships.
