I am translating a psychology text, and, in this section, it is about psychological games people play and the two types of mistakes that are in relationships.
It refers to "паранойя" and "поляна". Whereas the first is clearly "paranoia" I am struggling to find out what the term поляна term means in English in the given context.
The text in which this word occurs is below for context:
В отношениях между людьми кроются два вида ошибок. Первый вид ошибки — когда мы считаем, что нами манипулируют, но это нам только кажется — на самом деле нами не манипулируют. А второй вид ошибки — когда нами в самом деле манипулируют, но мы этого не замечаем.
Если первый вид ошибки называется — “паранойя”, то второй вид ошибки называется — “поляна”, и она на самом деле не менее распространена и не менее губительна для человека, чем паранойя.

Pollyanna
I think the Pollyanna syndrome is mentioned here
What is Pollyanna syndrome symptoms?
With "Pollyanna syndrome," the subject remains stubbornly optimistic and upbeat regardless of the external circumstances. There are situations in life in which sadness is the most appropriate emotion. A shallow, constant merriness is based on denial.

Pollyanna syndrome, the name being taken from a book of the same title, means “an excessively or blindly optimistic person.” The occurrence and danger of such attitudes in psychotherapy is discussed. Such attitudes may occur both in patients and their therapists.

The Pollyanna principle was described by Margaret Matlin and David Stang in 1978 using the archetype of Pollyanna more specifically as a psychological principle which portrays the positive bias people have when thinking of the past. According to the Pollyanna principle, the brain processes information that is pleasing and agreeable in a more precise and exact manner as compared to unpleasant information. We actually tend to remember past experiences as more rosy than they actually occurred. The researchers found that people expose themselves to positive stimuli and avoid negative stimuli, they take longer to recognize what is unpleasant or threatening than what is pleasant and safe, and they report that they encounter positive stimuli more frequently than they actually do. Matlin and Stang also determined that selective recall was a more likely occurrence when recall was delayed: the longer the delay, the more selective recall that occurred.[6]
