Shedding Resentment: A Journey to Healing with Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst
When you're in this kind of constant cycle of vitriol and aggression, you know, most people have to acknowledge and face the fact that what they think is going to make them feel better is actually not making them feel better at all.
Why do we hold onto resentment, and how does it impact our lives? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle these tough questions with their signature blend of humor and empathy. They discuss how clinging to grudges can fuel addiction and block the path to recovery. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, the hosts reveal practical ways to release resentment, such as seeking therapy and becoming more aware of your emotions.
They also caution against using social media to vent frustrations, which often perpetuates negativity rather than alleviating it. One of the standout moments comes when Martin notes, 'When you're stuck in a cycle of anger and revenge, it’s like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer.' The episode isn’t all heavy; they sprinkle in lighter topics like the quirks of online shopping and the nostalgic scent of creosote.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about emotional well-being, this episode offers valuable insights and a touch of humor to help you on your journey.
