In this week’s episode of Talking Therapy, I go into more detail on what toxic positivity is, what it’s not, why it can be harmful, and why when I talk about the dangers of toxic positivity. I reflect on Hannah’s most recent episode where we discuss the importance of being open and honest with friends and family about where she is in her recovery journey, and answer some of your questions around this. Finally, I speak about social overwhelm, and share three ways to help avoid it.
