About this listen

Why is it so hard to feel grateful… when you’re deeply hurt?

This deep dive explores the hidden relationship between resentment and gratitude — and why “just be grateful” feels impossible when you’re sitting in anger, frustration, or betrayal.

Drawing from Dr. Kerry Howells’ work, you’ll discover that:

  • Resentment isn’t just emotion — it’s a psychological and biological loop

  • Your brain is wired to prioritise the negative (and keep you stuck there)

  • Gratitude isn’t a feeling — it’s a deliberate action that rewires your nervous system

Through powerful real-life stories, you’ll learn how:

  • A simple gratitude letter broke decades of resentment

  • Small everyday conflicts can silently damage your mental and physical health

  • Practising gratitude doesn’t excuse others — it gives you your power back

This isn’t about pretending everything is okay.
It’s about breaking free from what’s quietly controlling you.


We have come to the end of Season 1 for the Deep Dive, and we are so thankful for all the support we have received this season. Thank you, everybody.
