#97 Resentment and Bitterness After Betrayal—What’s the Message Beneath the Pain?

Resentment and bitterness can feel impossible to escape after betrayal. They’re natural responses to deep hurt, broken trust, and the unfairness of it all. But what if these emotions aren’t just obstacles—they’re actually messengers? What if they’re pointing to unmet needs, unresolved grief, or fears about the future?

In this episode, we dive into the deeper meaning behind resentment, why it lingers, and how to move forward without bypassing your pain. If you feel stuck in bitterness, this conversation will help you find clarity, validation, and practical ways to release the weight of resentment—on your terms.
