Understanding How Resentment Is Learned And Managed
A clinical psychologist from Pittsburgh explains resentment as a hurtful response to being let down when help was needed. Resentment differs from anger in that it aims to obtain something one believes they must have, not merely want, and it tends to smolder rather than fade. The denial and demonization of the offender help maintain its grip, while talking with others often deepens the rift. Therapy involves empathetic expression of hurt, reframing the event, addressing entitlement beliefs, and focusing on current goals to move beyond past losses.
