  In this episode of the Mr. and Mrs. Therapy podcast, the hosts discuss the 'comparison trap' and how social media can distort self-worth. They explain how platforms highlight only the best moments of people's lives, leading to unfair comparisons and feelings of inadequacy. The episode explores the psychological and emotional impacts of these comparisons, including increased rates of depression and anxiety. Practical strategies to escape the comparison trap are shared, such as curating your social media feed intentionally, practicing daily gratitude, limiting screen time, focusing on your own gifts and abilities, and replacing comparison with celebration. The hosts also provide a biblical perspective on finding worth beyond social media validation and emphasize the positive potential of social media when used purposefully. 00:00 Introduction to the Comparison Trap 00:53 The Impact of Social Media on Self-Worth 05:12 Psychological Insights into Comparison 08:18 Biblical Perspective on Self-Worth 10:28 Practical Strategies to Escape the Comparison Trap 15:44 Conclusion and Positive Use of Social Media
