How Do We Release Resentment Or Get Past Old Hurts? Episode 83

Avoiding conflicts in the short term only lead to resentment building in the long term! Though you may have adapted the philosophy of avoiding conflicts from other examples that you saw, or your own past experiences. It hurts your relationship by turning into resentment. You can even be a happy and growth focused couple but can start to build a rift in just a few days time. 

So we took this topic of releasing resentment or getting past old hurts from Andrew on Instagram and Teresa on Facebook. They both essentially asked: “How do I let go of resentments or past hurts in my relationship now?”

 

So in this episode today you’ll takeaway:

• Why and how resentments build up from avoiding conflicts and withholding communications
• The steps to take to release any past hurts or resentments
• How to use the steps to ‘close the circle’ on future arguments, so that they don’t repeat themselves in the future and turn into resentment later on. 

From listening you will feel free from keeping things held inside and clear about what you can do next to create connection out of conflict.
