Embracing Intensity

184: Play vs. Toxic Positivity


Listen Later

I've been thinking a lot about play lately, but also feeling bad talking about play when there's so much going on in the world right now. In my interview last week with Jeff Harry, he reminded us that "there's nothing wrong with having multiple emotions at the same time," and that play can be used to help deal with challenging things and conversations. 

In this episode:

  • The difference between play and toxic positivity.
  • Play as a form of self-care.
  • Why play isn't just something for kids.
