概要
Being told to "look for the lesson" or 'think positive' can start to feel unhelpful, especially when life is actually hard.
In this episode of Life Made Easier, Tiffany Hunter, PhD and Karen Janes, DClinPsy talk about toxic positivity and why always trying to look on the bright side can sometimes make things harder rather than easier.
They explore how the push to stay positive can lead to shame, disappointment, or a sense that you've failed when life doesn't go to plan. When uncomfortable emotions are dismissed or rushed past, people can end up feeling more alone with what they're experiencing, not less.
Tiffany and Karen make the case for allowing space for all emotions, including the ones we'd rather avoid, and explain why this is a healthy and necessary part of being human. Rather than rejecting positivity altogether, they talk about what a more balanced, compassionate approach can look like, one that stays connected to reality and supports real emotional movement.
This episode is for anyone who's felt pressure to "stay positive" when things were genuinely hard, and who's looking for a kinder, more honest way to relate to their inner experience.
