Part 1: The Cult of Positivity + The Curse of Positivity Washing with Sukie Baxter

Soul of Sensitivity

Posture and movement therapist and friend Sukie Baxter is here with me to have a conversation about positivity - the good, but mostly the bad, ugly and dangerous. Seriously, people - this movement is an epidemic and works against our actual biology. Here's what we cover in Part 1: - What is the positivity movement and positivity washing? - Where the movements show up - in the wellness, fitness, spirituality and coaching communities - How we miss out on connection if we only allow "good emotions," since connection is built on "going through" something - Using biology to explain the ridiculousness of "good" vs "bad" processes or emotions - The danger of intellectualizing wisdom traditions - Using horse training and parenting as examples of how nervous systems get shut down, and how we can build resiliency instead - Our emotion phobic culture - Repressed emotional trauma - Identified patient and highly sensitive people - The relationship behind the positivity movement to colonialism - Colonialism and how we think we're right about everything, including nature Resources from this episode: - Kelly Diels, http://www.kellydiels.com/ - Horse trainer Warwick Schiller - https://www.warwickschiller.com/ - Christine Kent and her book, "Saving the Whole Woman" - http://www.savingthewholewoman.com/ - Brene Brown, https://brenebrown.com/ Learn more about Sukie Baxter at www.wholebodyrevolution.com Support this podcast at www.patreon.com/sensitivityuncensored Book a session with me or learn more at www.sensitivityuncensored.com
