10. Overcoming Diet Culture: Jealousy vs Envy, Explained w/ Dr. Alisa Shanks
Description
Diet culture doesn't wait for January to end before it starts telling you your body needs to change. This episode gives you a way to catch it before it wins, using Scripture and a clinical tool to spot exactly when comparison turns into jealousy or envy.
Dr. Alisa Shanks returns to help Chrissy work through the jealousy and envy that diet culture stirs up this time of year, using Dr. Marsha Linehan's Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) framework to name the difference between the two and Scripture to take the thought captive before it takes root. She covers what it means to refuse to let your heart be troubled, and why training your mind toward truth works the same way as training a puppy you actually love. You'll leave this episode with a skill for staying true to what you know is true, not just a hope that the comparison fades on its own.
