115 - Gratitude & Mental Health

It's the second half of November, which means (here in the United States) we're approaching Thanksgiving. In this episode, Robert and Holly talk about gratitude and it's impact on mental health. How can it help? Has it been suggested in unhelpful ways before? What are some ideas for incorporating practices of gratitude and thankfulness into your life? Also, we work through some conflict about Thanksgiving side dishes.
