In today's society, we are often told to always try to see the positive in every situation. You've seen it before- "Good vibes only!"
Good vibes and positive thoughts are amazing when you're in a good place, but when you are dealing with pain or trauma, it can feel heavy to try and be positive all the time. Because of this, you may even feel shame for those negative emotions.
In today's episode of the Leading Lady Podcast, we are talking about toxic positivity and why it is okay to feel your emotions-good or bad.
It is important to recognize that we aren't always going to be in a place where we are feeling our best, and that is okay. Avoiding the authentic feeling of pain or grief is dysfunction.
We can't avoid our pain or trauma in the name of positivity. We have to process it, deal with it, and heal from it so that we can move on. Your pain doesn't make you stronger, healing from it does.
Tune in to hear more about what toxic positivity is, how to stop comparing your pain to others, and the importance of facing your pain or trauma so you can finally heal.
