E.14. Toxic Positivity - When Good Vibes are NOT so Good!

Text Jackie!!!

We don't often hear the words toxic & positivity joined together but people are often toxically positive in our culture.  Many people are so uncomfortable with uncomfortable emotions they prefer to grin and bear it and encourage others to do the same.  Toxic positivity is defined as the overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state that results in the denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience.  It's great to be positive and optimistic but not when that positivity is inauthentic or is based in idealization.   

This podcast is a combination of Jackie's clinical insight as well as her wisdom & life experience gained from years of mentoring, coaching & counseling.
