Episode 3 - Sugar-coating Versus Positive Thinking

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.

The How to Hold a Grudge theme was provided by Annette Armitage, a
composer, musician and teacher, and co-writer (with Sophie) of two
mystery themed musicals: THE GENERALIST - A MURDER MYSTERY MUSICAL
and WORK EXPERIENCE - A MUSICAL LOCKED ROOM MYSTERY.
