A member asked:
Can you tell me how to stay happy when i'm stuck in a toxic environment with my mother?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really toxic: Cognitive behavior therapists might have questions for you, such as: (1) are you really stuck?; (2) is the use of the word "toxic" really necessary, or is it an exaggeration (overgeneralization) of the situation? You might find that you're actually choosing to be in this situation with your mother. Consequently, you're not actually stuck. Be happy if you make positive efforts to move forward.
