I'M SO DANG OFFENDED, NOW WHAT? Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

What do we do when we seem to remain "offended?"

The “mental ingredients” of offense we’d have to take into account in today's episode include,

1.) The triggering event

2.) Our perception of that event (we used the term “The story I am telling myself is…”) and then,

3.) Our ability or inability to move through the anger, so it doesn’t fester into resentment.

How exactly do we do that? We’re going to discuss that today.
