Gratitude is a powerful tool for healing trauma. While trauma often leaves us feeling stuck in pain or fear, practicing gratitude shifts our focus to the positive aspects of life. This doesn’t mean ignoring our struggles; instead, it’s about recognizing moments of joy or connection, even amidst difficulty. Gratitude rewires the brain, reducing stress and fostering resilience. Journaling small blessings, appreciating supportive relationships, or savoring simple pleasures can create a sense of safety and hope, helping us move forward with renewed strength.
