Manage episode 353902840 series 2654229
Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.
Today, we’re revisiting some fire moments from our episode on How To Ditch Toxic Positivity, with Whitney Goodman. We break down how to remain optimistic without engaging in toxic positivity, and learning to enjoy the journey of life without the pressure to always be constantly happy. It’s all about allowing yourself and others to hold space for the good, the bad and the neutral emotions in life. Because sitting with your feelings won’t leave you stuck there — you gotta feel them to heal them!
Today’s guest, Whitney Goodman, is a psychotherapist, author of the book Toxic Positivity, a columnist for Psychology Today and appears regularly in publications like The New York Times and Teen Vogue.
No one should have to pretend that everything’s ok when it isn’t, so if you’re looking for some validation, you’ve come to the right place!
