22. Stop Being So "Positive": What Is Toxic Positivity?

Looking for the positive is a good thing. Until it's not. Some circumstances in life are just profoundly sad. Shaming people into trying to find the positive in tragic situations is not helpful. This episode is about toxic positivity with personal examples geared toward the disability community. It's also about how NOT to be "that" person by doing these things instead.  *** This podcast was recorded in Garageband and edited by Lisa Thornbury.
