Description

In this episode, Paul and Ray take on gratitude in a way that cuts deeper than the usual holiday routine. Instead of listing three things you’re thankful for or posting something online that sounds good, they explore what it looks like to experience gratitude from the inside out. They break down the difference between goals and intentions, why slowing down matters, and how savoring small moments can turn gratitude into a steady part of daily life—not just something you try to do when things are going well. They also share personal stories from clinical work and their own lives that reveal how gratitude shows up during stress, growth, grief, and connection. This conversation is real, grounding, and something clinicians can use in practice right away.
