In this episode I talk about why gratitude feels impossible for people who grew up in chaos, abandonment, or survival. Gratitude is not a weakness issue. It is a capacity issue. When your nervous system has been trained to expect loss, stillness feels unsafe and receiving anything good feels risky. I break down why gratitude feels heavy, why sadness and gratitude can exist together, and how to slowly build the internal room to hold both. If you have ever felt broken for not being able to feel grateful, this episode shows you that nothing is wrong with you. You are rebuilding the capacity to receive.
