Validation doesn’t mean you agree with what’s being said.
A powerful phrase to try:
“That sounds really upsetting.”
Not fixing.Not correcting.
Not explaining. Just acknowledging.
Validation doesn’t mean you agree with what’s being said.
It means you’re recognizing the emotion behind it.
And often—that’s what calms the situation.
Try this and tell us what you notice.
