Your resentment is an invitation into understanding your needs.
Happy Sunday, Soothers. Here’s a surprising theory I’m going to posit today:
Many of us don’t actually know what we need. Especially emotionally.
And many of us are experiencing resentment on a frequent basis: hat feeling of frustration when we think another person or people should have acted a different way or done a different thing.
Resentment used to be my constant companion. I would bitterly ruminate about situations, how I’d been treated, or how I had interpreted somebody’s actions as thoughtless or wrong. The thoughts and storytelling I did in my head about these situations could have filled a book. A volume of books, really.
