This week we speak with Whitney Goodman, author of Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Positive Thinking.  

Society bombards us with "positive vibes only" type thinking. "This too shall pass."  "It could be worse." These platitudes can be isolating and make emotional situations such as illness, loss and breakups even worse. 

Whitney shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions.
