Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There’s one person I keep replaying with a knot of resentment, and they’re living rent-free in my body even when they’re nowhere near me
• The instant someone cuts me off or drops the ball, I’m sure they did it to me on purpose, and that one assumption is what sends me through the roof
• The same old grievance keeps surfacing on its own
• When someone close to me starts spiraling, their panic jumps straight into my chest and suddenly I’m as worked up as they are
• There’s one person I can’t stop resenting, and the bitterness loops in my head and exhausts me
