Why Do We Chase Happiness?

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking all about happiness. They discuss happiness as an unwavering state vs. an emotion just like any other, the difference between happiness and contentment, the role that toxic positivity plays, the pressure we may feel both internally and externally to be only happy during certain life milestones, our obsession with happiness as a culture, why it can feel so scary to be happy, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
