Does that include Ms. Woodnymph? (yes I read your story) LOL
Yes! Validation was a huge part of why the young, sexy, well-off Ms. Woodnymph slept with me on that first date--hiking while my son was at a party for a few hours! She felt seen and safe. I glimpsed her submissiveness. It's up to you how you leverage the rapport and insights.

Does SHE see it for "something else", or do you? If you've read my story, you also know I dated a psychologist briefly, and she also relished my validation and active listening.
She does. It’s not surprising about the psychologist. If she does therapy it’s part of what she does but probably not done to her. I hope it wasn’t your therapist. I would add when the relationship is understress validation is more difficult.
