Ep. 222 Validation And Its Discontents

In this episode of RECLAIM, I dive into an exploration around validation in relationships and explore why we seek validation from partners, parents, and others. Learn how to cope with a lack of validation, understand how its connected to childhood wounds, and discover strategies for healing without validation. If you struggle with self worth or crave constant reassurance, this episode offers a psychoanalytic perspective on validation and practical insights for relationship struggles and emotional needs in relationships.
