Why is it So Hard to Stop Comparing?


Listen Later

On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are diving into the topic of comparison: why we compare, where it can come from, and the inevitability of it. They answer your questions about different kinds of comparison like body comparison, life stage comparison, career comparison, relationship comparison, and getting in touch with the feeling underneath it. They also cover competition between siblings, jealousy and envy, and the "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality. The episode ends with a Dear Em & Jen about a listener's partner still being in touch with their ex. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
