    Description

    Toxic positivity is bad for your mental health. It could even cause depression.
    Toxic positivity can also cloud judgment, worsen mental health issues, and zap your motivation. Some of the things I share are how to recognize when you're being toxically positive, what the research says about the harm it can cause your mental health, and how you can still be positive without crossing the line into toxic positivity.

    Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin will help you build the mental strength you need to reach your greatest potential. Host Amy Morin is a psychotherapist and international best-selling author of five books on mental strength. On Mondays, she interviews experts, authors, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, and celebrities about the strategies they use to overcome the biggest battle we all face — the battle within our own minds. She then breaks down their strategies in "The Therapist's Take" section of the episode so you can apply their strategies to your own life. Every Friday, she shares "The Friday Fix," a quick exercise from her therapy office that can help you grow mentally stronger today.
