overview

Description: Resentments and fears can cause us incredibly deep pain because of the anger, regret and shame that can arise from them.  We’ll look at ways to unpack our resentments and fears so that we can understand the root cause of them and then surrender to let them go.  This process will also help in recognizing them as they might arise so we can stop them in their tracks.
