Envy is a feeling that comes from a desire to have what someone else has. Although it can motivate us to compete for resources and power, it can of course have an ugly side when it tips into aggression.
Ever found yourself wanting what someone else has, and feeling a pang of envy? You're not alone. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon take a deep dive into the emotion of envy, exploring its roots and how it affects our lives. Envy isn't just a fleeting feeling; it’s one of the seven deadly sins and a criterion for certain personality disorders.
But why do we feel it, and how can we manage it in a healthy way? Jacqueline and Kibby break down the psychology behind envy, discussing its ties to hierarchy, status, and even narcissistic personality disorder. They share practical tips from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help listeners turn envy into a tool for personal growth. Think gratitude practices, positive competition, and building others up.
The hosts also emphasize the importance of being the best version of yourself, rather than getting caught up in comparisons. This episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable advice, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and manage their emotions better.
