What if you let go of what you thought you should be grateful for and instead explore what is already present?

As Thanksgiving approaches, join Dr. Chrissie Ott, as she discusses the pitfalls of using gratitude as a form of self-criticism and advocates for more genuine gratitude. She describes a unique gratitude practice called Naikan and its impact on personal growth and awareness. Dr. Ott discusses her personal experiences with Naikan and the transformative impact it can have on one's perspective and sense of gratitude. 

She wraps up the episode outlining the foundational principles of Joy Point Solutions.
