Validation requires genuine sincerity from "summary" of I Hear You by Michael S. Sorensen
The concept of validation goes beyond simply repeating back what someone has said. It requires a genuine sincerity in our words and actions. When we validate someone, we are not just going through the motions or checking a box. We are truly seeking to understand and empathize with the other person's feelings and experiences.
As we practice validation, we must remember that our intentions matter. If we are only validating someone to manipulate or control them, our insincerity will eventually be revealed. Genuine validation comes from a place of authenticity and care for the other person.
In order to validate someone effectively, we must be willing to set aside our own agenda and truly listen to what the other person is saying. This means giving them our full attention and showing that we value their thoughts and feelings.
Validation requires us to be present in the moment and to respond in a way that shows we are truly engaged with the other person. This may involve reflecting back what they have said, asking clarifying questions, or simply offering a listening ear.
When we validate someone with genuine sincerity, we create a safe space for them to express themselves and feel heard. This can strengthen our relationships and build trust with others. By practicing validation in our interactions, we can show others that we care about their well-being and are willing to support them in their journey.
