This video is part of our Religious Trauma Series. Toxic Positivity is when we demand (of ourselves or others) that we "forget" the bad and "focus on the good". By negating people's pain, we comfort ourselves. This happens more in the church world than we like to admit. Watch this video to see how it happens, why it is harmful, and some ideas on how to stop doing it.
