Resentments rot the container they’re in. Taking responsibility for my resentments is the most liberating gift I can offer myself. In this episode, I give a thorough introduction to the resentment work I do. I explain what resentments actually are, and give examples of how I work through them. I talk about the victim mentality, and why blaming others always absolves us from taking responsibility for ourselves, keeping us stuck and unhappy. If you can’t seem to manifest the relationships or things you truly desire, I highly suggest you listen to this episode.

Episode breakdown:

• I begin by explaining the difference between anger and resentment.
• It can be hard to detect and admit our resentments to ourselves. It’s much easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for working through our resentments/upset.
• When we see ourselves as a victim, we absolve ourselves of all responsibility, marinate in self pity and seek attention from others.
• The victim mentality is extremely disempowering, causing us to remain stuck and believe the world is treating us unfairly. 
• I explain why harbouring any form of resentment will block us from manifesting our desires, and will instead attract more of what we don’t want.
• If I am judging someone, I surely have resentments towards them.
• Resentments and judgements cut us off from other people. They create a wall of separation that can give us a false sense of safety.
• When we hold onto resentment towards someone, we are energetically chaining ourselves to them. In resolving our hurt, no matter what it was, we set ourselves free. This process is a major part of all 12 Step Recovery programs.
• I share what (real) forgiveness means to me.
• The majority of the resentments we might carry around for decades, are petty in nature.
• I explain why I try not to judge anyone’s behaviour as wrong.
• When I work through my resentments effectively, taking responsibility for myself and my expectations of other people, I become free to fully love the people in my life, without strings attached. 
• I explain why most resentments have an underlying fear.
• There is nothing more liberating than taking responsibility for my resentments! When we do this work, we shift into an energy of love and gratitude and begin to attract all the things we deeply desire, including more intimate relationships with our loved ones.
