What To Do When Resentment Builds

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are diving into the topic of resentment and how it can be connected to unmet expectations, feelings of unfairness or imbalance, and asking for what we need. They first explain the emotion of resentment, where it can come from, and how they each know when resentment is building for them, personally. Emmalee and Jen then answer your questions about why it can be easier to stew in the resentment than ask for what you need, the discomfort of confronting, if resentment can be solved by expressing your needs, how to become more assertive, assertiveness vs. aggression, and displacing resentment onto others. The episode ends with a Dear Em & Jen about balancing time between friends/roommates and a significant other. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
