Validation is a fundamental aspect of human psychology. Recognizing and accepting that a person's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are understandable and appropriate within their context. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of inner work in personal growth and self-awareness. Seeking outside perspectives can be beneficial, and solving wounds alone can be limiting. Receiving validation from others can help bolster self-belief, while the struggle of accepting compliments about oneself can be a significant barrier to self-love.
