Dr. Amy Krentzman will present research on addiction and recovery focusing on the science of gratitude.

The roots of gratitude are found in the world’s great religions but in recent decades, psychologists have been studying the emotional benefits of gratitude. In even more recent years, social scientists have been studying the impact of gratitude on addiction recovery. In her talk Dr. Krentzman will discuss six prominent ideas from psychology that explain how gratitude supports addiction recovery. She will also discuss recommendations for a daily gratitude practice that come from her research. Co-hosting webinar: Tim King and Pastor Ed Treat.
