Episode notes

Resentment means feeling hurt repeatedly. Anger is only a temporary visitor, but resentment is anger given a room.

Resentment writes a permission slip. It justifies unhealthy coping habits while spreading tension into your physical body and relationships.

Trade stuffing or spewing for honesty. Stuffing buries physical pain. Spewing damages relationships. Honesty brought to God brings healing.

Set your anger down nightly. Name the hurt, pray honestly to God, and hand it over before the sun goes down.

Relief Drives Habits; Shame Fuels Them. Destructive behaviors seek quick relief, and post-behavior shame acts as an engine that keeps the cycle running.

Stop Fixing; Start Seeking Rescue. Freedom begins when you stop asking "How do I fix myself?" and start asking "Who will rescue me?"

Nobody Climbs Out of Deep Mud. Recovery requires being pulled out by someone on solid ground rather than thrashing in self-effort.
