Diagnosis –
Resentment is primarily a subjective emotional experience, and there are no specific diagnostic tests to identify it. Mental health professionals, such as psychologists or therapists, can assess and diagnose resentment by conducting a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough clinical interview and assessment of symptoms and their impact on daily functioning.

Treatment –
Addressing resentment typically involves a multifaceted approach, which may include:
•  Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic modalities can help individuals explore and reframe negative thoughts, develop coping strategies, and promote forgiveness and acceptance.
•  Emotional regulation techniques: Learning healthy ways to manage and express emotions, such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques.
•  Communication and conflict resolution skills: Enhancing interpersonal skills to assertively express needs, resolve conflicts, and establish healthy boundaries in relationships.
•  Self-care practices: Engaging in activities that promote self-care, self-compassion, and overall well-being, such as exercise, hobbies, and spending time with loved ones.
•  Support networks: Seeking support from trusted friends, family, or support groups who can provide empathy, understanding, and guidance.
•  Forgiveness exercises: Working towards forgiveness, either through self or to others.
