Researchers took note of the connection between failure and bitterness. According to psychologist Dr. Carsten
Bitterness can stem from a wide range of events in one’s life. It could come from a failed marriage, being a victim of abuse, being laid off or fired, or parenting a disabled child. Whatever the reason may be, you could be left with feelings of bitterness. If that bitterness is left unresolved, you will begin to see the negative affects not only on your physical health, but your entire life. Therapy is a wonderful tool to help someone overcome feelings of failure and bitterness. It will require hard work and an honest assessment of one’s self, but you can conquer those emotions. Beat it before it beats you!
