Gay Men Going Deeper

Toxic Positivity


Listen Later

Toxic positivity is the belief that people should maintain a positive mindset, no matter how challenging a situation may be.  This belief invalidates your authentic emotions and is a form of avoidance. 

In this episode, we're sharing our own experiences and understanding of toxic positivity and we'll answer the questions:

  • What are your thoughts on toxic positivity and the effects it has on silencing negative emotions and experiences?
  • What’s been your experience with pushing away negative emotions and how did it affect your mental health?
  • How have you learned to embrace all of your emotions and honour them in healthy ways?
  • What tips or practices can someone try if they’re just learning to engage with their negative emotions?

By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how toxic positivity may be showing up in your own life, and what you can do about it.
