Are you Feeling Resentful?

No doubt that all of us have felt resentment during our lives. Have you felt hurt by someone, or perhaps you have been the one to upset someone else and feel guilty about this?


When we have felt betrayed, hurt or done-wrong-by, it can be hard just to forgive and forget, accumulating to strong sensations of resentment. Resentment can then make us experience deep feelings of sadness, pain and anger. It can lead to lowered self-esteem and even make us feel unworthy. Over time, it can be very damaging - not just to ourselves but also to people around us.

Caroline Rushforth, an NLP Coach, points out in her latest article that, although it is human nature to mentally revisit upsetting experiences as a way of processing the experience, holding onto resentment is considered a way of punishing yourself or the other person. Carrying around feelings of resentment, you can hurting yourself, as it drains your resources. However, Caroline is adamant that it is entirely your own choice - it is your own internal processing system that determines how you feel about what others have said or done.

In her article, Caroline goes onto explain how we can deal with resentment and let go off it. Please read the full article attached below - and let all your resentment go!
