Episode 20: Toxic Positivity

In this episode we talk about toxic positivity and how it can be detrimental in the grieving process. Being positive is not a bad thing, trying to stay positive when going through a situation is also not a bad thing and it can often help in dealing with the situation. Supressing and dismissing emotions that should be natural to a situation because someone else could have it worse, or because you may have dealt with situations that were a lot bigger than the current situation so you don’t need to be upset, are ways in which toxic positivity is reinforced.
