Toxic positivity isn't always syrupy sweet platitudes. Sometimes it is buried in the "keep it moving" or "keep going" mentality and the pushing through to the next despite the adversity.
That's why some of us really aren't as resilient as we think...at least not yet. We call ourselves tough. We call ourselves strong.
We try to skip over the most important part that grants us the resilient title: the reflection and the healing, the part that teaches us the message in the mess.
If you've ever had a wound that didn't heal, it may be because you didn't let the wound scab over the way it's supposed to.
While on the Call and Response book and media tour, leaders have loved repeating and remembering the "Name it, tame it, and then reframe it" because it's not only catchy and easy to remember.
It sounds simple.
But there's a messy part right in the middle that many of us skip.
The taming takes work, and it isn't always pretty.
If you can relate, let me hear from you in the comments.
