Scenario

When family members compete over TCM compliance

My mom and I both see the same TCM doctor for our shared autoimmune condition, but she's rigid about following every recommendation while I want to adapt things to my lifestyle — our appointments have become passive-aggressive competitions about who's the 'better patient.' We're turning healing into a performance.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared healing journeys can become sites of comparison and judgment rather than mutual support when perfectionism enters the medicine.
