Ep042 - How to manage Toxic Positivity with Dr Natalie Flatt Ph.D


Listen Later

Sometimes you just have to see the good in everything.   
They say everything happens for a reason.  
They say you’ll get over it.  
And finally good vibes only.   
What do all of these statements have in common?   They are actually quite toxic.  In a world that froths on the pursuit of happiness, it seems quite obvious how the simplification of our feelings can leave people feeling a bit well ‘blah’.   You only need to look up hashtag #goodvibesonly on Instagram and you will be hit with a massive 15.3 million posts of perfectly angled pictures that highlight perfection and happiness.   What about the other vibes that exist in the human experience?  
Dr. Natalie Flatt Ph.D and Tom Bosna are excited to be tackling the topic of toxic positivity in this episode.  We dissect the topic of toxic positivity, discuss practical examples of how this plays out in relationships and workplaces   We will also tackle some strategies on how to deal with toxic positivity in the workplace and discuss how leaders can approach this to support their team members.  
We promise to bring the #goodvibesonly and Tom to never use the word vibes in real life interactions in future.
