Toxic Positivity: Is Too Much of a Good Thing Bad?

Society has always told us to see the glass half full, but is that always possible? Sometimes, yes. Always, no. Natalie Christine Dattilo is a licensed psychologist and she explains to us the idea of toxic positivity. It's the concept of dismissing negative emotions through suggesting positive thinking. Dr. Natalie shares why we do this (we're going back to our childhood for this one!), some ways we can re-train ourselves to not do this, and improve our listening skills. She also will share some tips for getting through "the most wonderful time of the year!"
