Understanding Envy and Jealousy: Emotional Health for Healthcare Workers

Comparing things about people, fine, but what is the criteria for judging yourself as less than? You know, you can't compare human beings in that way. It's going to be different for different people.
Healthcare professionals often face an emotional rollercoaster, dealing with stress, anxiety, and guilt. But how do envy and jealousy fit into this complex puzzle? In this episode of the NHS Practitioner Health Wellbeing Podcast, Dr. Zaid al-Najjar teams up with therapists Ruth Deighton and Simon Lyne to dissect these challenging emotions. They bring decades of experience treating mental health professionals, offering a practical guide to understanding and managing envy and jealousy.
Ever wondered how these feelings can impact your relationships at work and home? The hosts dive deep into real-life examples, illustrating how constantly seeking evidence of a threat can lead to exhaustion and anxiety. Instead, they encourage focusing on self-improvement without falling into the comparison trap.
As Simon Lyne aptly puts it, 'Comparing things about people, fine, but what is the criteria for judging yourself as less than?' This episode is a treasure trove of insights for healthcare workers grappling with their emotions, but anyone interested in emotional well-being will find valuable takeaways.
