Episode 53: Are You Using Gratitude Against Yourself?

Gratitude is one of my favorite emotions–it just feels so good!
But I’ve noticed a pattern.
Sometimes, as doctors’ wives, we use gratitude as a way to punish ourselves.

The crazy thing about that thought is that it doesn’t actually generate gratitude at all.
Listen to this week’s episode to learn how to stop using gratitude against yourself.

Ready to stop feeling angry at your husband

before he even walks through the door at night?

Not keeping score doesn’t require you to keep quiet and silently seeth while doing everything on your own. It does help you let go of anger and resentment and focus on solutions instead of scoreboards. It means you make room for working together instead of feeling isolated and alone.
