In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) Michelle Iversen and Brett Cushing discuss the concept of gratitude in the first part of our "Managing Holiday Stress" series. Did you know gratitude isn't just an action or saying "thank you"? Together we will look at what research says gratitude is, and the mental and physical health benefits of making gratitude an intentional daily practice.

Listen to learn more about how an "attitude of gratitude" helps with stress (not just during the holiday season, but all year long) and ways you can incorporate this every day using DBT skills. Brett and Michelle will demonstrate an "A, B, C" gratitude exercise for listeners and let you know what makes them feel grateful this time of the year.
