What Is Toxic Positivity? Why It’s Harmful and How to Deal With It

Positively Anti-Inflammatory

174. Have you ever masked painful emotions by trying to just "get over it?” Ever feel guilty about feeling sad, angry, or frustrated? Do you tend to give “positive-only” perspectives, such as “Think of all you have to be thankful for!” instead of validating the person’s emotional experience? We understand the benefits of having a positive attitude, but what happens when that positivity turns toxic? Tune in this week as I define toxic positivity and what it means to experience it. I’ll examine its causes, signs, and expressions and why it is harmful to our health. I’ll discuss what to do about toxic positivity and provide non-toxic alternatives.
