Holding a grudge…

We often hold a grudge because we don’t want to let the other person off the hook. But who’s really hooked: the one who’s moved on or the one who’s holding on?

— Lori Deschene

I’ve thought a lot about this. I have a couple of painful experiences that repeat, like bad TV reruns,  seemingly against my will. These unhappy, icky little memories often show up in my dreams. Ugh. My favourite therapist says these uncomfortable moments present a great opportunity for enlightenment, if we take a deeper dive into our past, and extract meaningful learnings. Supplemental healing frees and empowers us to make healthier choices, and this typically leads to better quality relationships and improved well being. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
