When we describe our latest grudge to a friend, they might say something designed to try and cheer us up. How we're likely to feel about their intervention will depend on whether they're sugar-coating or offering us something genuinely positive.
In this episode, Sophie looks at the difference between the two approaches, and how to distinguish one from the other.
Also in this episode, Helen Acton and Anne Grey join Sophie to discuss how to embrace but not inflame negative feelings.
