This is a free 45-min community webinar, followed by 15-mins for Q&A and discussion.
ABOUT THIS TALK:
We have all heard or said things like, “Don’t worry, it’ll all be fine!” or “Just think positive” when faced with a difficult life situation. When we become overly identified with positive thinking and start to deny or dismiss our other emotions, especially the difficult emotions, it is referred to as toxic positivity. Toxic positivity can compromise a person’s mental and physical health, as well their personal and professional relationships.
ATTENDEES OF THIS TALK WILL LEARN:
- The difference between toxic positivity vs. realistic optimism
- How toxic positivity can get in the way of you achieving authentic happiness
- Healthier ways to approach difficult life circumstances
