Being positive is great but there is a fine line between supporting someone and invalidating them. When you're too positive it can be hard for others to feel heard when they are struggling with their feelings. Toxic positivity isn't just about the words we use, sometimes our actions can make another person feel excluded or unseen. We all want to be seen for who we truly are, not what we think other people want us to be like!

This episode of The Recovery Junkies has Carlos and Chris really fired up! Each host speaks on how dangerous toxic positivity can be and how it makes other people feel like they can't be honest with their feelings due to fears of getting shut down by someone's overly positive attitudes. As always, they share practical ways to learn how to recognize this issue in our lives and to lesson the effects on the people we love and care about.
