You Aren't A Parking Ticket, You Don't Need Validation
We don’t come out of the womb seeking validation. But shortly after, our parents, our society, and our culture train us to seek validation.
This is a mistake that leads to suffering, depression, and even suicide.
Why?
Because you’re already perfect the way you are. But the more you seek validation from others, the more you remove yourself from your perfection. Which makes it impossible to free yourself from your suffering.
In this episode, you’ll discover why validation is a deadly poison that keeps you caged instead of free. And how to feel okay with your life without any kind of validation.
Listen now.
Show Highlights Include
- The “learn to suffer” mindset tweak which extinguishes trauma overnight (1:08)
- Why validating your kids actually robs them from the joy of being themselves (even if it makes them smile in the moment) (4:47)
- The “Ugly Painting” trap which erodes your kid’s self esteem (even if you’re trying to build it) (7:07)
- How comforting someone who is suicidal is like giving them a deadly poison (and what to do instead) (13:37)
- The toxic “Culture Infection” which makes it impossible to free yourself from suffering, addiction, and trauma (18:06)
- Why soothing your suffering with validation inflicts long-term misery that’s almost impossible to get rid of (21:12)
