The Hidden Harm of Toxic Positivity: E.B. Johnson's Take
“Toxic positivity and pseudospiritual self-help advice is more rampant than ever... They are teaching people not how to love themselves, but how to be insecure and self-loathing; how to settle for abuse and dimishment in their day-to-day relationships. Don't let them drag you under.”

Johnson dives into the murky waters of toxic positivity and pseudospiritual self-help in this episode of 'Practical Growth: A Self-Recovery Podcast'. Johnson pulls back the curtain on how this feel-good culture can actually lead to more harm than good, fostering insecurity and self-loathing instead of genuine self-love.
