Validation is essential in communication from "summary" of I Hear You by Nidhi Upadhyay
Validation is like a warm hug in a chilly room. It wraps the other person in a blanket of understanding and acceptance. When we validate someone, we are essentially saying, "I hear you. I see you. Your feelings are valid." It is a powerful tool in communication that fosters connection and trust. When we validate someone, we are acknowledging their emotions without judgment. We are showing empathy and compassion, which are essential ingredients for building strong relationships. Validation allows the other person to feel heard and understood, which in turn makes them more likely to open up and share their thoughts and feelings. Validation is not about agreeing with everything the other person says. It is about acknowledging their perspective and showing respect for their feelings. Even if we don't necessarily agree with someone, we can still validate their emotions by simply listening and offering support. Validation also helps to defuse conflict and tension in communication. When we validate someone, we are validating their humanity. We are saying, "I may not understand exactly how you feel, but I respect your emotions." This can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce the likelihood of arguments.- Validation is about creating a safe space for open and honest communication. It allows both parties to feel heard and valued, which is essential for building trust and intimacy in relationships. By practicing validation in our interactions, we can cultivate stronger connections and create a more harmonious environment for communication to thrive.
