The Emotionally Sensitive Person
Emotional validation means acknowledging and expressing acceptance of someone thoughts, feelings and behaviors as understandable. Sometimes understanding someone else thoughts and feelings requires a lot of work because the way they think makes no sense to you.
Emotional validation is different from emotional invalidation which means someone feelings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thoughts and behaviors are judged, rejected,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or ignored.
Validation is particularly important for emotionally sensitive people. So if you love or care about or interact with someone who is emotionally sensitive, using validation can help build your relationship or help communication go more smoothly.
Remember the six levels of validation developed by Dr. Linehan (see previous post on Understanding the Levels of Validation)? Understanding the levels may be easy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Putting them into practice is often more difficult. Practice is the key to making validation a natural part of the way you communicate.
Consider this example. Your best friend is upset because her husband cut up her credit card. How do you validate her? Remember to use the highest possible level. Think of your answer before you read further!
Probably Level 2 is the highest level you could use. You could say, understand, you are upset because your husband cut up your credit cards without your agreement made you feel like he was acting like a parent. You reflect her thoughts and emotions back to her, showing that you accept those feelings as her internal experience.
You probably couldn use Level 6 or radical genuineness as it unlikely you could understand and authentically agree with her response as reasonable. Level 5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], normalizing, would not work because most people would agree his response was reasonable and not be upset in that situation. There is nothing to make her response more understandable in terms of her history,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so Level 4 is not possible. Level 3 is also not applicable because she told her feelings clearly to guess.
Let try another example. Jesse tells you she quit her job,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. She quit because her boss loudly criticized her in front of other people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. She asked him twice before to not embarrass her but he loses his temper easily,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. She felt afraid of him because he reminded her of a verbally abusive uncle and she couldn continue to work for him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. What level of validation do you use,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Level 6 or Level 5 might work in this situation. If you have been in a similar situation or you really understand how she felt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can validate her by saying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], completely understand. I would have done the same thing. That would be Level 6. Level 5 would be,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], think most people would have felt the same way you did. she has a history of being verbally abused, you don use Level 4 because Level 5 fits. Remember,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], always use the highest level possible. Level 4 would be to say, your history of being verbally abused,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I understand why you would quit. That actually invalidating because anyone, whether they had a history of being verbally abused or not, would be upset if their boss humiliated them.
Joanna calls you and talks about having urges to overeat. She complains that she has eaten chocolate cake and other sweets and wants to eat more, but she doesn want to gain weight. What level of validation can you use?
Level 3 would be a good choice. Joanna didn mention any feelings though she is eating for emotional reasons. You could say, something happened? My guess is you upset about something. Then she might tell you that the catshe had for six months died yesterday. At that point you could use a Level 5 or 6, depending on how you feel about losing a pet.
When Shawna was a teenager, she almost drowned in a large pond. She was a poor swimmer and swam out further than she realized. When she stopped swimming, her feet couldn touch bottom and she swallowed water. She panicked and a friend swam to save her. Since that time she been afraid of water. A neighbor invited her to a pool party. A guy who was flirting with her pushed her into the pool and she panicked, even though she was only in waist high water. She tells you that she ashamed of her reaction and she hates being crazy.
Level 4 validation would work in this situation. your history of almost drowning, of course you panicked when you were pushed into water. Anyone with a history of drowning would probably react the same way. how did you do? Now it time to practice in real life. Try validating someone in your life at least once a day for the next week.
