Gratitude as a Lifeline: Insights from Ask an Addiction Specialist

Practicing gratitude is actually fundamentally incompatible with stress...it's impossible to be grateful and be in a state of severe shame at the same time.
What if the simple act of saying 'thank you' could transform your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Ask an Addiction Specialist', host Dr. Bob Weathers explores how practicing gratitude can be a powerful tool in overcoming addiction. Drawing from the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, Dr. Weathers explains how gratitude can build emotional strength, reduce shame, and foster self-compassion.
The episode is packed with practical tips, including gratitude exercises inspired by Maslow's hierarchy of needs, that you can easily integrate into your daily life. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, these insights offer a fresh perspective on the healing process. Tune in to discover how something as simple as gratitude can make a significant difference in your mental and emotional well-being.
