We regularly hear that in any situation it is necessary to look for the bright side and not pay attention to the bad. Because of this, when faced with difficulties, we suppress our true emotions and do not admit to ourselves our true feelings. Psychologist Whitney Goodman calls this desire to eradicate any negative manifestations from life as toxic positivity. Using examples from different areas of life (health care, corporate environment, everyday communication), she shows why it is necessary to accept your feelings, shares strategies that will allow you to do this, and also gives advice on how to correctly support others by choosing words that truly will help.
