This Is Not Therapy podcast: Making Friends with Gratitude

S1E10 Making Friends with Gratitude

How do you feel when someone asks you what you are grateful for? It should feel good, right? Not to me. I struggled with gratitude for years. It felt like a straitjacket imposed from the outside, as something I should be, but because I didn’t feel grateful inside, I must be a bad person. Good thing I sorted that one out then, isn’t it?

Featured Poem: How I am held, from the collection This is Not Therapy, recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022
