The Men's Self Help Podcast

What If Positive Thinking Doesn't Work?


Listen Later

Everyone knows positive thinking can be helpful, but what happens when it doesn't work? Can you make yourself feel worse by forcing happy talk? In this episode, Dr. John explores the downside to positive thinking and how trying to deny your feelings can be harmful. Learn about an alternative called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Also, you’ll hear from a listener who describes himself as overweight and can’t experience intimacy unless he’s wearing a shirt.
