(#108) Validating (& Invalidating) Emotions

The Manifest Episode #108: Validating (& Invalidating) Emotions This week I saw something on reality TV that got me thinking about emotional validation. This one scene between a mother and her child was a perfect example of how parents emotionally invalidate their children--likely without even realizing it. Does that sound familiar to you? If so, you're not alone! Emotional validation was definitely not something I grew up with. But it is in fact important for healthy emotional growth in children. One sign that you did not receive emotional validation as a child is that you cannot give it to yourself (or to others) in your adult life. But living without that validation is really difficult. So today I'm sharing some tips on how you can stop this sneaky form of self-torture and create a more healthy relationship to your feelings instead! In This Episode: + Hear an example of what emotional invalidation looks like in parenting + Find out what emotional validation is & why it's important (for both children & adults) + Start your healing process by learning how to emotionally validate yourself and those around you! + Much more! -------------------------------- Welcome to The Manifest!
