Pure gold from Sandi. My only small point to make is that for me validating wasn't to agree or condone what she was saying or doing as much as to defuse the interaction. To keep it from becoming a tit for tat. Those rarely ever yield results with a WW. But listen to Sandi and becareful not to overdo it. The WW fog is such that they can take your passivity as you "allowing" them to do what it is they are doing. I believe that is why Sandi advocates applying more of a tough love mindset with a WW.
Lovingit, typically temp taking is not a positive thing. Why do you feel you need to temp check her?
