Are you tired of constantly wanting or needing validation from others? It’s a common experience — we’ve all been there. But wouldn’t it be liberating to rely more on self-validation instead of chasing approval from the outside world? In this video, I delve into the fascinating world of validation and its profound impact on mental health. 

Join me as I share insights from research and my own personal journey, to help you understand how to stop seeking validation from others and start believing in yourself. I’ll shed light on the difference between external validation (that can leave you feeling like you’re constantly wanting approval) and self-validation (where your power truly lies). We’ll also discuss practical, effective strategies on how to validate yourself, offering a healthier perspective for your mental health. With a focus on improving your level of self-validation, you can better navigate the roller-coaster of emotions we often experience. 

It’s time to start your journey towards a healthier approach to validation… so, join me and let’s talk about how to approach validation in a healthy way! 

Let's Talk About Mental Health: teaching you how to look after your mental health.
