Doc Heath here; your friendly Neighborhood NeuroMechanic!
Spooky season is a great time for the young AND the young at heart to PRACTICE “FEAR”. That’s right! Practicing experiencing difficult emotions when we know we’re in a safe environment can help us program our minds to understand emotions - even the difficult ones - are not harmful to us.
Go ahead and enter the creaky doors of that Haunted House. Watch that spooky movie and let the CHILLS run up and down your spine. Decorate your home and yard with ghosts and monsters and witches and zombies; later imagining them all coming to life in the dark of the night.
Guess what will happen when you experience that FEAR? N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
Fear can never harm you though it can be a difficult emotion.
Use this Half-Way to Halloween to create a space for fear that YOU control.
Feel the fear and THEN pay attention to your THINKING. After all, it is your THINKING that is CREATING the fear in the first place.
Change your thinking; change your feelings. Master your thinking; master your life.

Toxic positivity is a term used to describe the excessive and unhealthy focus on positive thinking and emotions, which can result in the invalidation of negative emotions and experiences. If you feel like you are suffering from toxic positivity
, it may mean that you are struggling to acknowledge or express negative emotions and that you feel pressure to always appear positive and upbeat.
Some signs that you may be experiencing toxic positivity include:
Feeling guilty or ashamed about experiencing negative emotions, such as sadness, anger, or anxiety.
Ignoring or dismissing negative emotions in yourself or others, and trying to focus only on the positive.
Feeling pressure to always be happy, upbeat, and positive, even when you don't actually feel that way.
Feeling like you can't express your true feelings to others, because they might judge you or think less of you.
If you feel like you are experiencing toxic positivity, it's important to remember that it's okay to feel and express a range of emotions, both positive and negative. It's healthy to acknowledge and work through negative emotions, rather than suppressing them or pretending they don't exist. Seeking support from a mental health professional can also be helpful in managing toxic positivity and developing healthy coping strategies.
TalktoAngel is an online counseling and therapy platform that can help individuals struggling with toxic positivity. Our licensed therapists and counselors are trained to help clients recognize and address their emotions in a healthy way, and to develop coping strategies that work for them.

I drew this with the help of my friend and a kick-ass therapist Glow Up Therapy who wrote the script. It was a fun collab to get to draw something from someone else's perspective.
Go give her a follow on T!kT0k (@amandajelden) to get some free (and often funny) therapy!
