The Science Of Gratitude: Unlocking The Healing Power of Positive Thought

from Why Do People Do That? · host Stacy Pellettieri, LCSW and Heather Harten. LCSW

Wouldn't it be great if we could actually harness happiness just from changing the way we think? Well... we actually can. There is science-based research that explains how shifting our mindset into a place of gratitude manipulates the neurotransmitters in our brains, creates new neural pathways, reduces stress hormones and creates a cognitive restructuring of how our mind works. That's right! Simply ( we know this may not feel simple) by changing our inner headlines, we do have the power to live happier and more fulfilled lives. We know this is not as easy as it sounds. There can be hurdles in the way, and this can even feel invalidating if you are going through something hard. Please join us as we get into the details of just how this all works and how to practice gratitude even in times of darkness. Let's move into gratitude together and reduce the stress, anxiety, and depression that we may be facing in our lives.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhyDoPeopleDoThat   Visit our website: https://whydopeopledothat.com/   If you'd like to contact Stacy and Heather or learn more about their practices, visit the following sites: Long Island Counseling Services - www.longislandcounselingservices.com District Support Services - www.districtsupportservices.com  ADHD Training Center - www.adhdtrainingcenter.com     Follow the "Why Do People Do That?"
