Questions (IQ): The Surprising Reason That Gratitude Can Block Healing — And the Deeper Shift That Can Lead to Real Healing (Ep. Archive 2019)

So often people ask questions like: Why am I practicing gratitude but still feel stuck?  Why doesn't gratitude seem to help my body heal? And why can "doing all the right things" sometimes make me feel worse instead of better? In this Questions (IQ) episode, Brandy Gillmore explores a surprising — and often misunderstood — insight about gratitude, healing, and the deeper emotional patterns that can quietly block real change. While gratitude is widely encouraged and supported by research, Brandy explains why gratitude alone isn't always enough — and how, in some cases, it can unintentionally reinforce hidden feelings of guilt, unworthiness, or difficulty receiving. In this episode, Brandy shares: Why gratitude can sometimes create inner conflict instead of healing How emotions like guilt, shame, or feeling undeserving can block progress A personal look at survivor's guilt and suppressed emotions Why the body may not heal even though it is constantly repairing and replacing cells How emotions and the subconscious mind influence healing at a deeper level The difference between practicing gratitude and resolving what's really there Brandy also explains why healing requires emotional honesty and precision — not just positive practices — and how addressing underlying patterns can open the door to real, lasting change.   Free Mind-Body Healing Training If you'd like a deeper understanding of mind-body healing and how self-healing works: Click here to join the FREE training.
