Toxic positivity is the belief that people should maintain a positive mindset, no matter how challenging a situation may be. This belief invalidates your authentic emotions and is a form of avoidance.

In this episode, we're sharing our own experiences and understanding of toxic positivity and we'll answer the questions:

What are your thoughts on toxic positivity and the effects it has on silencing negative emotions and experiences?
What’s been your experience with pushing away negative emotions and how did it affect your mental health?
How have you learned to embrace all of your emotions and honour them in healthy ways?
What tips or practices can someone try if they’re just learning to engage with their negative emotions?

By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how toxic positivity may be showing up in your own life, and what you can do about it.
