Trauma is the Wound, Resentment is the Scab

Trauma is what happens to you. Resentment is what you keep. 🛑 Trauma is a wound, but resentment is picking the scab every morning so it never heals. In this video, I break down the actual definition of Resentment. It comes from the Latin re-sentire, which means "to feel again" or "re-feel". When you ruminate on the past, your brain doesn't know the difference between the memory and the event. Your amygdala fires and your body prepares for a fight that happened 10 years ago. You are trapping yourself in a time loop. You’re living in a haunted house, but you are the ghost. 👇 Discussion: Are you "picking the scab" of a past hurt? What would happen if you finally let it heal? Tell me below.
