In this episode of Open Heart Therapy, we explore the uncomfortable but very human emotion of schadenfreude—the pleasure we sometimes feel at someone else's misfortune. We reflect on how this feeling shows up in everyday life and why it can be harmful to our empathy. Together, we ask: What kind of world are we building—and what kind of hearts are we shaping—when we take joy in another’s pain?
