S2 Ep 78: The Antidote to Toxic Positivity with Whitney Goodman (@sitwithwhit)

Sometimes, it's better to just listen and let your kid vent. Join me in conversation with psychotherapist Whitney Goodman, who you may know from the terrific Instagram page @sitwithwhit. She is the author of Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy. We discuss what toxic positivity is, how to listen and when to give advice, and we trade stories of some times we wish we could have acted differently.

As a parent, do you ever wish someone could just whisper some realistic and trustworthy support in your ear? And not make you feel awful for not having all the answers? Well, that’s what I’m here for. I'm Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, parent educator, asst. clinical professor, and co-founder of both Mount Sinai Parenting Center and SeedlingsGroup. And I'm a mom... trying to raise two good humans myself, so I'm in this with you! In each episode, we'll go deep (but brief) with both experts and parents to share the most effective approaches and tools and talk about the important bigger picture of raising good humans. My goal is to make your parenting journey less overwhelming and a lot more joyful! Please join me every Friday for new episodes of Raising Good Humans.
