\"\"<\/p>\n

At some point, we have said to ourselves or have heard someone say:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to stay positive.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cIt could be worse.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cJust focus on the positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These statements are well meaning and are often said by people who want you to feel better.\u00a0 But, for many having feelings of anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, or if they are going through a difficult life transition, these statements can increase your distress, not reduce it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about It\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Positivity isn\u2019t the problem \u2013 Pressure is<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Positive thinking, when it\u2019s self-directed and genuine can be helpful.\u00a0 The problem arises when positivity is being used to ignore or avoid real emotional experiences.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is sometimes called \u201ctoxic positivity.\u201d\u00a0 The idea that we should maintain a positive mindset all the time, no matter what we\u2019re feeling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When your positivity becomes an obligation, not a choice it can:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Create shame around negative emotions<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Send the message that emotions like sadness, anger, or fear are failures<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Teach people to distrust their internal experiences<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your nervous system does not respond to \u201cPep Talks<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When someone is feeling anxious, burnt out, or emotionally overloaded, their nervous system is in a heightened state.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In those moments:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Logical thinking doesn\u2019t happen<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Positive affirmations feel invalidating<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Reassurance feels unwanted<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Telling someone to \u201cstay positive\u201d when their nervous system is heightened is like telling someone with a sprained ankle to \u201cwalk it off.\u201d\u00a0 The body and brain need safety and regulation, not pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Suppressing emotions ca increase Anxiety and Depression<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Suppressing your emotions doesn\u2019t make them go away \u2013 it often makes them increase.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When people feel like they shouldn\u2019t be sad, mad, overwhelmed, or scared, they will often:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Push those emotions way down deep<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Judge themselves for feeling the way they do<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Avoid processing what is really happening<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Overtime this can lead to:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Increased anxiety<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Emotional numbness<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Increased stress<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Burnout<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Increased depression<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mental Health Support is about integration, not avoidance<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mental health support is about learning how to:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Feel your emotions without being consumed by them<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Understand what your emotions are communicating<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Respond with compassion \u2013 not judgement<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Build regulation before resilience<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019re allowed to feel what you feel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, therapy can help.<\/p>\n
