Spiritual bypassing – fake positivity masking pain by Laura Achrem

Note: Spiritual Bypassing – How Fake Positivity is Messing With Your Life

“Good vibes only” sounds soothing, but it can be a dangerous glue that hides pain instead of healing it. When I cover discomfort with platitudes, I betray my truth: suppressed emotions don’t disappear—they fester in the nervous system, loop in toxic patterns, and break trust with myself.

Healing isn’t about masking or silencing; it’s about facing what hurts, owning what’s real, and letting authenticity guide me. True positivity admits the struggle, honors the wound, and chooses growth instead of glossing over the cracks.
