Validation is not agreeing/ disagreeing/ explaining/ negotiating/ etc. The idea is to A) encourage the other person to share more feelings and B) let them know their feelings are valid, important and legitimate.
Is there a thread with tips/advice on validation? It's an area I realize I need to improve upon.
