When we feel low or sad, we need to feel like we can count on our loved ones for support, guidance, and love to help pick us back up. However, sometimes, words of support that may seem positive can aggravate negative feelings and emotions. Toxic positivity is a form of gaslighting that encourages us to ignore emotions, devalue problems, and impose unreasonable optimism. But how do we know that the things which we say or that we hear, are toxic? This video explores some phrases which seem harmless but may be toxic. 

Disclaimer: This video is intended for educational purposes only and is not written to suggest that if you have used or have heard any of these phrases said to you, that they are necessarily toxic. It is more about being mindful of how they could be interpreted as toxic depending on the situation. If you have any concerns, please confide in somebody you trust.
