Let's talk about the science of gratitude. When we express gratitude and receive the same, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions, and they make us feel 'good'. They enhance our mood immediately, making us feel happy from the inside which is a key ingredient in enjoying a happy and healthy sobriety. In this episode Louisa looks into ways you can incorporate a gratitude practice into your daily routine. This series has been written and created to support you in your first month of sobriety, whatever the time of year. There will be one episode released every day covering key topics in sobriety but also other areas of mental health using Louisa's knowledge as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Hypnotherapist who helps people with habit change.
