Comparison is the thief of joy! You may have heard that, recognize its importance and STILL suffer with comparison.
We chat in this episode about our experiences with comparison, how it's shown up in our relationships and what we can do to help manage or reframe comparison to make it more helpful!
While we focused in this episode on the differences in relationships to highlight their uniqueness, it is also worth noting that you may find yourself comparing similarities - which can lead to feeling "replaceable". Again, refocusing on what makes you special and unique as a human will help with those feelings. Also asking for reassurances from your partner(s).
Books recommended: "Polywise" by Jessica Fern and David Cooley, and "The Body is Not an Apology" by Sonya Renee Taylor as well as the Workbook "Your Body is Not an Apology" by the same author.
Error: Around 2:20 Leanne said "I'm comparing myself to my partner" but what she meant was "comparing myself to my meta" - although it also points out that you may feel competitive with your partner as well!
