Aggressive Encouragement and Toxic Positivity

Ebonie Alexandra Season 1 Episode 16

We have a wide range of emotions for a reason from elated to furious. The healthiest thing we can do as individuals is to not dismiss our feelings for the purpose of trying to force ourselves to feel something that we don't in that moment. 

The best thing we can do for the people in our lives that we care about is to give them the empathy and space to feel their emotions and not be dismissive by responding with toxic positivity as if negative emotions are not a part of the human experience.
