This is self-work and I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. At self-work we'll discuss psychological and emotional issues common in today's world

and what to do about them.

I'm Dr Margaret and self-work is a podcast dedicated to you taking just a few minutes today for your own self-work

Hi and welcome to self-work. I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. I'm a clinical psychologist out of Fayetteville, Arkansas

and I cannot believe this is my 95th episode of Self-Works.

But before we get started on today's episode I want to announce what I'm going to be doing

for my 100th episode.

Actually, it's a request that's been made by a couple of people, so I maybe there are others that would be out there

who would like it. It'll be an episode a bit longer than most but I'll be answering

your questions solely that day. I've got several comments in the queue that I haven't been able to

get to or several questions but I'd love to have some more. So please send them in

to ask Dr. Margaret at Dr. Margaret Rutherford. It's all confidential and if you don't want your question read

then just tell me that too.

I'll get to it just as soon as possible.

But I'm excited about being only with you for our hundredth episode.

We're talking about kind of a tough topic today. We're going to be talking about

bitterness and the definition of bitterness is a feeling of deep anger and

resentment and emotion which encompasses both anger and hate.

Often people who are bitter appear to the world as just going around pissed off at everyone and everything.

However, bitterness is often a result of some past event which is hurt, scarred, or jaded the person.

There are many ways that bitterness and contempt are expressed through

gender-bashing, stereotyping for various reasons, and I'm going to talk a little bit about that.
