Validating the feelings of another is a very important part of true intimacy. Even though we cannot make one another ‘ feel’ a particular feeling we need to understand that we impact one another and that if you have a feeling about someone’s behavior and you share it , then is is both important and helpful for you to hear that your feelings have been heard, valued and understood to the best of the other persons ability.
For example if you tell someone that a behavior of theirs caused you pain and you share this, then it is not okay for the person to dismiss your feelings or say you shouldn’t feel pain. This is your experience and you need people in your life who care about how you feel, creating empathic friends is part of growth and true intimacy. Thank you for your comment. All the best to you Dr Wood

Hi,I was looking to see if I can find something about Validation of Feelings,because I’m been having mayor prolems with my partner of 10 years because of the “lack” of validation that I receive from her about my feelings and emotions;she doesn’t know what the word “validation” means,so I came across this web page and send her the link to see if she will take the time to read it,if you have any recomendation about this particular subject,please let me know I will appreciate.Thanks,Ana.
