Podcast description: 

In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, we’re diving into this hidden struggle—the cycle of guilt, anxiety, and the pressure to just be grateful. We’ll explore why gratitude feels so difficult when your nervous system is on high alert and why self-judgment only makes things worse. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to approach gratitude in a way that actually supports your healing, rather than feeling like another impossible task on your to-do list.
