Validation is a key piece in building stronger relationships and communicating more effectively. This is especially true in rural life, where emotions tend to go unspoken. In last week’s episode, I discussed what validation is and why it’s important. Today, I’m excited to continue the conversation surrounding validation, and share more about the ‘practical’ side of it.
In today’s episode, I talk about practical tips for validation, and specifically, how to validate and seek it in relationships.
Validation is not about ‘fixing’ problems or offering solutions, but rather, seeing, hearing, and trying to understand each other. Not only can we offer validation without fully understanding or agreeing with one another, but we can validate ourselves too. After all...that is where the REAL connection begins.
In this episode, I cover:
- Effective ways to validate others
- How to seek validation for ourselves
- Why validation is much more than just ‘fixing problems’ + a special challenge for you
