This is incredibly validating! I don’t even know what to type, tears of relief are streaming down my face. Finally, reading this explains so much of my childhood experience. All the years of wondering what in the world is wrong with me. Thank you from the depths of my soul for writing this.

Correct!
Correct!
Correct!

Validation is vital. I have a tattoo that reads:

Listen
Observe
Validate
Encourage

(93% of human communication is body language, thus the importance if observation)

And that in itself is how we LOVE people 😉

Love your work – will be in touch again once I’ve finished the book 🙂

Wow that is so true. It is so important to respect the feelings of others. Too many times people want to shut you down for being upset. How is that going to make anyone feel better.
