SPECIAL GUEST "An Interview W/My Husband About SEX"
Feelings and thoughts of gratitude often seem spontaneous and involuntary but they can be consciously trained. Some feelings can be forced via implants of electrodes on a nerve or spinal cord or brain, but the reverberations of those feelings can only follow old pathways. Gratitude can be squashed if pain is perceived as inescapable. A diversion and training can turn that perception away from the old tracks of despair to the circuits of gratitude. Since neurons that fire together, wire together, the threshold to feel gratitude decreases with practice.
