why we always want what we don't have || psychology of desire, fear of missing out, consumerism, life satisfaction

Things We Say in Therapy is the podcast that dives into the quiet corners of mental health no one talks about—but everyone experiences. In this episode we dive into why we always want what we don't have; why we're constantly chasing things that we think are going to make our lives better, only for that feeling of novelty to fizzle out a week later. We talk the psychology of desire and the desire cycle, fear of missing out (FOMO), why we are taught that buying more things will make us happy and how internal growth and gratitude will ultimately change this cycle.
