Having a positive mental attitude is a great thing, and there is absolutely a time and place for it. But there's also a time and place to acknowledge the negative, and this is very important for our mental health. In this episode, I dive into that, first by defining toxic positivity and explaining the signs of it (thank you www.thepsychologygroup.com), then explaining how it relates to my own experience during a very difficult time in my life.

How toxic positivity influences people to stay silent, and how this leads to one of the most toxic emotions.

Listen in for one of the keys to recovering from emotional stress, and also how to be a better friend to someone else who's going through emotional stress right now.  Doing this has helped me become stronger and happier.
