Send us a text

In this episode, we talk about something many of us in the chronic illness community face- Toxic Positivity. There's the external things people tell us, like "Keep your chin up" or "Things aren't that bad", but there's also the unexamined internal toxic positivity we keep in ourselves. This kind causes emotional distress and creates immense internal suffering. 
We discuss 3 ways to combat this internal dialogue and how to end the suffering caused by Toxic Positivity.
