(article) The Power of Releasing Resentments

[Guest guest]

Many people on the spectrum struggle with processing anger and

resentment toward actual (or perceived) wrongs inflicted against them.

And because perseveration is so common among this population, the

inability to let go of this toxic energy is especially difficult. Not

that it is easy for anyone, just that it can be especially difficult for

those with an inflexible sense of what 'justice' means, and how it

should be achieved in order to reach forgiveness.

I thought this article was especially good for deconstructing the steps

necessary to release resentment and its toxic hold over those who feel

betrayed or abused. Ultimately, holding onto resentment hurts no one

else but the victim of the betrayal or abuse -- a good reason in itself

to find a way to move on.
