Episode 36: On Four Difficult Emotions that Are Designed to Help Your Relationships

In this episode of the Therapists' Take Podcast, we dive deep into the valuable relational purpose of difficult emotions. Anger, resentment, guilt, and feelings of defeat are often seen as negative, but they hold important messages about our relationships. Join us as we explore how these emotions can act as signals for unmet needs, boundary issues, and personal growth. We discuss how to better understand and work through these feelings to foster healthier connections and emotional resilience.

If you've ever struggled with managing tough emotions in your relationships, this episode is for you! Learn how to harness these feelings for deeper self-awareness and stronger, more authentic relationships.
