VALIDATION - a forgotten need part 2

We will continue our discussion from last week with special guest therapist Jef Gazley. He is going to use his technique of Energy Psychology and Energy Freedom Techniques with our call-in participants. These techniques have proven very useful in addressing validation concerns and areas where you feel emotionally stuck. It is important to: •Feel like you are important •Know that your feelings are real, very personal to you, and should be acknowledged as such •Feel okay sharing those feelings and personal outlooks/perspectives •Feel like someone is not going to ridicule you or in some other way disrespect you behind your expressed feelings •Feel at ease discussing what is deep inside When children don’t have validation, the emotional scarring starts taking place and problems begin. Lack of validation is responsible for most problems youth are having today.
