Being validated in our lives and personal struggles is a foundational need to have self esteem and a secure sense of self. Often times when we share vulnerable moments with others we are looking to be validated, when often most people don't actually know what validation is or how to give it. This often leaves us feeling not heard, rejected and desperately seeking to be told our feelings matter. In this episode we talk about how to validate properly in a way that meets the needs we are truly seeking, and also give us language to know how to ask for the validation we need.
