Description

In this episode of Open Heart Therapy, we explore what it means to practice contentment. We look at a definition, the difference between high-arousal novelty and low-arousal satisfaction, and how comparison can erode sense of satisfaction. We reflect on gratitude and learning to relish what we already have.
