Can motivational speakers PLEASE stop co-opting conversations about mental health & stop talking about how a ‘positive mentality’ is the solution to everything?You don’t talk science,you don’t have a public health background,you’re only an expert to your experience so pls shut up
They never address systemic issues, stressors, talk about research, provide insight. It’s usually ‘think positive, keep yourself around positive people, set goals’ kind of oversimplified bullshit that is heavily problematic when you talk about mental health. UGH.
They’ll clinically self diagnose anxiety and depression and talk about they were ‘rid of their negativity’ in 3 steps. Someone ban this before I individually start calling them out for this unethical, horrifying behaviour that’s self-serving to promote their brand image
