Nobody wants to be told when they are struggling, "Just be happy." "Look on the bright side." Or, "Stay positive."

It doesn't help, it doesn't work, and it's infuriating. This is what most people refer to as toxic positivity. But there is something deeper about toxic positivity.

In today's YouTube video, I share what's at the heart of toxic positivity, I discuss ways to respond to toxic positivity, and I share a more effective way to heal from hardship and to help others heal as well.
