‘Gratitude’ is a mindfulness practice. What if, instead of finding positives, you were forced to embrace the negatives?

This is the fifth of ten short episodes examining the misuse and tangling of language and vocabulary in the Truth 2x2's.

Trigger warning: discussing this language took me right back to my time in the group, so please be prepared that this episode might be tough to listen to if you're an ex-member.

How do you feel about the expectation to give thanks? What is the effect of learning to feel thankful when awful things happen? Share your thoughts on socials.
