#113 Gratitude in the Midst of Anxiety

The Anxiety Dr
About this episode

Can gratitude help us during anxious moments? How can I be grateful when I feel anxious every single day? I see so many post about how gratitude will help us feel so much better and eliminate anxiety. While I do think gratitude is powerful, while we are experiencing severe anxiety it can sometimes be so hard to feel gratitude and sometimes counterproductive. Join me!
