Description

In this episode of Open Heart Therapy, we explore comparative suffering—that tendency to dismiss our own pain because someone else has it worse; but suffering is not a competition. Join us as we unpack the emotional and spiritual impact of this mindset, reflect on biblical wisdom, and embrace the power of self-compassion. Let’s stop ranking pain and start making room for healing—ours and others.
