Today on the MIX Morning Show, Sean Kelly and Mariam Serkal chat with Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW about disappointment.
Not the huge dramatic kind you see in movies, but the everyday kind, when someone lets you down, when work does not go the way you hoped, when family does not show up the way you expected, or when a friendship starts to feel one-sided.
One of the healthiest things we can do is stop treating disappointment like it is abnormal. It is not abnormal. It is normal. The goal is not to never feel it. The goal is to respond to it before it hardens into resentment.
Dr Gowthorpe also has a new book coming out in October, Heal Childhood Trauma: The Self-Nurturing Therapy Approach to Better Adult Relationships. The book is now available for advance purchase through Amazon.
