Welcome to the Couples Therapist Couch, the podcast for couples therapists,
marriage counselors, and relationship coaches to explore the practice of couples therapy.
And now, your host, Shane Burkle.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to the Couples Therapist Couch.
This is Shane Burkle, and this is the podcast that's all about the practice of couples therapy.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist,
and the goal of this podcast is to help you learn how to more effectively work with couples and possibly even learn how to have a better relationship.
This week, I wanted to talk about resentment, and I think all of us have some level of resentment.
in our lives whether it's about your relationship or whether it's about your job or whether it's about options that you wish you had there are all kinds of things but i think that it comes up in relationships in some form for all of us and it could be resentment about really big situations it could be resentment about really small things But,
you know, it brings in this feeling that we don't have control over what's going on.
Right.
Or like it can often take the form of a power struggle.
I think either my partner is going to get their way or I'm going to get my way.
And it can feel really hard in a relationship to work through,
because on the one hand, you're trying to be considerate of what your partner wants.
But on the other hand, you may want something completely different.
So I'll start off with an example.
