Why is the grass always greener on the other side? The idea that what I don't have I want and what I have I don't value as much.
Ever wondered why you always seem to want what you don't have? In this episode of 'Power of the Mind', Gregory Struve, a seasoned therapist from Granite Mountain Behavioral Healthcare, joins host Elicia Morigeau to dig into this age-old dilemma. They explore the science behind our constant craving for more and why the grass often seems greener on the other side.
Struve sheds light on how our brains trick us into devaluing what we already possess, making us yearn for the unattainable. The discussion touches on everything from the illusion of a pain-free life to the impact of attachment styles and social norms on our relationships. Struve also delves into our desire for approval and happiness, and how demographics shape societal behaviors.
If you're curious about why you feel the way you do and how to break free from these mental traps, this episode offers a fascinating and engaging look into the intricacies of our minds. Tune in for practical insights and a deeper understanding of your own mental landscape.
