EPISODE 095 | The Psychology of Gratitude and Healing Trauma with Dr. John Demartini

Gratitude is easy when life feels supportive. The harder question is whether gratitude is possible during experiences people would normally label traumatic.Dr. John Demartini explores trauma, grief, panic attacks, emotional resilience, and the role our perception plays in creating suffering. Through stories involving kidnapping, violent assault, prison inmates, family conflict, and fear of death, he challenges the idea that emotional pain is only created by the event itself.We explore gratitude as more than a mindset practice, along with nervous system balance, victimhood, prolonged grief, emotional healing, and the stories people carry about painful experiences.If you’ve ever wondered why certain experiences stay emotionally charged for years, he offers a thought-provoking perspective on trauma recovery, gratitude, and healing.
