A quick note for ABCT attendees: Paul and Ray are getting ready for the ABCT Conference in Baltimore, Maryland! Stop by the Psyched to Practice booth at Booth 305 at the Baltimore Convention Center and Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor. Paul will be there Friday, and Ray will be there Saturday and Sunday. Come say hello, enter the raffle, and pick up some P2P merchandise!

What happens when gratitude becomes another item on your to-do list? In this throwback episode, Paul Wagner and Dr. Ray Christner explore the difference between performing gratitude and actually experiencing it. They discuss how gratitude connects to our values, why turning it into a measurable goal can sometimes miss the point, and how we can make space for appreciation even when life feels difficult.

You’ll also hear practical ways to bring these ideas into therapy, including how to help clients recognize meaningful moments without dismissing their struggles. Plus, Paul and Ray introduce the Three Breaths of Gratitude, a simple exercise focused on appreciating someone who supported you, something that challenged you, and something about yourself.
