Toxic positivity involves dismissing negative emotions and responding to distress with false reassurances rather than empathy.
Ever been told to 'just stay positive' when you're feeling down? In this episode of the ManVsMood podcast, hosts William and Mike tackle the often-overlooked issue of toxic positivity. They dive into what it means to dismiss negative emotions with empty reassurances like 'it'll get better' or 'just look on the bright side'. While these phrases might seem harmless, they can actually prevent genuine emotional healing.
Drawing from their own experiences, William and Mike share why it's crucial to balance positivity with empathy. They offer a heartfelt discussion on how to address distressing feelings in a healthy way, without sweeping them under the rug. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's tired of the 'good vibes only' mantra and wants to foster more honest conversations about mental health. Tune in to learn how to support yourself and others through genuine emotional expression.
