Summary
Avoiding conflicts in the short term only lead to resentment building in the long term! Though you may have adapted the philosophy of avoiding conflicts from other examples that you saw, or your own past experiences. It hurts your relationship by turning into resentment. You can even be a happy and growth focused couple but can start to build a rift in just a few days time.
So we took this topic of releasing resentment or getting past old hurts from Andrew on Instagram and Teresa on Facebook. They both essentially asked: "How do I let go of resentments or past hurts in my relationship now?"
So in this episode today you'll takeaway:
- Why and how resentments build up from avoiding conflicts and withholding communications
- The steps to take to release any past hurts or resentments
- How to use the steps to 'close the circle' on future arguments, so that they don't repeat themselves in the future and turn into resentment later on.
From listening you will feel free from keeping things held inside and clear about what you can do next to create connection out of conflict.

| 0:08.4 | And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you can pretty much just remember us as the Freeman's. That's what everyone does. And guess what, everyone? This is going to be a new way that we do the podcast. We're actually not going to have guests anymore. Maybe once |
| 0:23.5 | in a while, we'll do like a surprise treat for you and bring on a guest, but the reason why is |
| 0:29.0 | because we want to go deeper with you. And actually, we want to answer all of the questions. In fact, |
| 0:34.4 | the last 24 hours, we received dozens and dozens on a post that we put up |
| 0:39.1 | on social media, DMs. And so we just feel like by talking with you and answering your |
| 0:45.3 | questions, you can get to know us more. And I think, Aaron, wouldn't you agree that there's so much |
| 0:49.0 | more we can share personally? Well, I'll say it'd be a little more effective and useful for you |
| 0:54.1 | listeners. We have |
| 0:55.1 | had great guests and they're on a variety of topics, but this way you can actually send in |
| 1:00.8 | your questions. We'll address your question directly so we can really take these topics deeper, |
| 1:06.5 | like we're talking about today, resentment, right? Yeah, so today is going to be about a question |
| 1:10.5 | we received from one, |
| 1:12.1 | it was actually two people within five minutes on different platforms asked this. |
| 1:16.4 | So Andrew will always keep last names private, |
| 1:19.4 | but Andrew and Instagram and Teresa on Facebook asked a question that sounded like, |
| 1:24.9 | how do I get past resentments? |
| 1:27.2 | And then the other way someone said it was, how do I get past resentments? And then the other way someone said it was, |
| 1:28.9 | how do we get past old hurts? Right? Kind of how do we get to that forgiveness stage after something |
| 1:34.6 | that felt painful? So we're going to go into resentment. But before we do that, before we go into |
| 1:39.3 | topics, we're going to always highlight a review, something that you say about the podcast, and we're going |
| 1:45.8 | to do a drawing. So once a month, we're going to collect all of your reviews of the |
