"Toxic Positivity & the 'Pain' of Always Knowing What To Say" [E143]
Manage episode 282710471 series 1761816
Let's take a dive into the topic of toxic positivity and the negative effects it has on us. Clinical psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman shared with Health Line, "toxic positivity is the assumption, either by one's self or others, that despite a person's emotional pain or difficult situation, they should only have a positive mindset."
It's something that the more I study it, the more apologetic I become. Sometimes, I may have been toxically positive and for that I apologize. Now, I'm working to flee from those "good vibes only" ideals and learn to really tap into what people need to hear. Sometimes what we need to hear is short-term destructive but long-term positive. Sounds a bit convoluted, I'm aware. Just hit play and we can rap about it.
