This week on THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL HIM & HER PODCAST…
( 0:55 ): Welcome back to TSC HIM & HER Show. #430: On today’s episode we are joined by Whitney Goodman. Whitney is a psychotherapist and author of the new book “Toxic Positivity”. Today Whitney joins the show to discuss the concept of toxic positivity and how it can potentially impact our lives in the wrong way. We also discuss how to recognize toxic positivity and what to do when it happens in our own lives.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS WITH
( 2:46 ): Michael asks, “How would you define toxic positivity?”
( 3:14 ): Michael asks, “So how do you distinguish between someone who’s an eternal optimist and someone who’s toxically positive?”
( 3:57 ): Lauryn asks, “When can you pinpoint a moment in time, like go way back, before you wrote this book where you experienced toxic positivity but didn’t have a word to use for it?”
( 5:44 ): Lauryn asks, “Do you think it has to do with parents kind of not wanting to deal with it and sweeping it under the rug so they don’t have to take it on?
( 6:09 ): Lauryn asks, “So what’s the opposite of toxic positivity?”
( 6:44 ): Lauryn asks, “Why do you think now more than ever people are attracted to this subject?”
( 8:02 ): Michael asks, “Which of the two roads do you go down if you want to progress in life?”
( 10:48 ): Michael says, “So in a way it’s acknowledging the feelings, the situation. But then what’s the next tactical step?”
( 12:36 ): Lauryn asks, “When does it sort of cross the line to being toxic?”
( 14:12 ): Lauryn asks, “When you were writing the book, was there certain people that you had in mind throughout the whole book?”
( 14:40 ): Lauryn asks, “Wait, how do we start to see this in religion and politics?”
( 27:10 ): Michael says, “At some point if you want to break out of that story and circumstances you kind of in a way think in an empowering way.”
( 29:35 ): Michael says, “Let’s say somebody is actually unhappy with where they are in life. They’re not putting in the effort. They’re not working on themselves. They’re just wallowing. What do you tell that person?”
( 30:48 ): Lauryn days, “I would love to know some tools and tactics that the audience can use if they have a parent or a sister that’s doing what your parents did to you.”
