Toxic Positivity And Its Friends
Positivity becomes toxic when it denies space or access to the spectrum of emotions and experiences. The denial of our feelings is the breeding ground for self-destruction. It is an attempt to extinguish something within ourselves that is crying out to be heard. Eventually, our core being will always win that battle, whether by our surrender and release to the truth within or by our very messy nervous breakdown as the truth claws its way to the surface. We don’t get to skip feelings.
