Episode Description

When we experience difficult times in life, it's not always helpful to simply think positive thoughts and be blindly optimistic. Drs. Milt Lowder and Katie Nichols acknowledge the power of positive thinking, but they also discuss why facing the brutal truth allows us to be realistically optimistic, which gives us the freedom to experience pain, find meaning during hardship, and, ultimately, experience positive growth.
