Just like with many aspects of life, having too much of a good thing can be detrimental. This applies to positivity as well, often referred to as toxic positivity. Today we are exploring this concept and its impact on women who are childless not by choice. Excessively positive statements can minimize grief, create isolation, and hinder emotional healing.
I offer listeners tips on identifying and managing toxic positivity, both for those who are childless and for those seeking to support a family member or friend. It is important to acknowledge pain, set boundaries, and validate emotions to provide genuine support and facilitate healing.
Key Episode Takeaways:
- There comes a point when too much positivity can become harmful.
- Some positive comments can feel dismissive and invalidate your pain.
- Toxic positivity gets in the way of healing.
