Seek validation from within from "summary" of Women with Controlling Partners by Carol A Lambert
When caught in the web of a controlling partner, it can be easy to lose touch with one's own inner voice. The constant criticism and manipulation can lead to a severe erosion of self-esteem, making it difficult to trust one's own perceptions and feelings. Seeking validation from within means reconnecting with that inner voice, learning to trust oneself again. It involves tuning out the negative messages from the controlling partner and tuning into one's own intuition and self-worth. This process of seeking validation from within is essential for breaking free from the cycle of control and abuse. By learning to rely on one's own judgment and beliefs, a woman can regain a sense of autonomy and agency in her life. Rather than seeking external validation from a partner who seeks to undermine her, she can find strength and validation from within herself. This internal validation is not about shutting out the opinions of others or becoming closed off to outside feedback. It is about finding a balance between listening to others and trusting one's own instincts. It is about recognizing that one's worth does not depend on the approval of a controlling partner, but on one's own sense of self-respect and self-love. Seeking validation from within requires self-reflection and introspection. It means taking the time to explore one's own thoughts, feelings, and desires without judgment or criticism. It involves acknowledging one's own strengths and weaknesses, and learning to embrace them as part of what makes one unique and valuable.- Seeking validation from within is a powerful tool for reclaiming one's sense of self and breaking free from the control of a manipulative partner. It is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, a journey that can lead to greater self-confidence, self-assurance, and self-love. By learning to trust oneself and believe in one's own worth, a woman can begin to heal from the wounds of a controlling relationship and move towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
