The Trap Of External Validation And How To Build Self Confidence - From A Licensed Therapist

As humans, we need external validation, but there is a point where it becomes a trap and it becomes a cup you can never fill. When you are always looking for someone else to validate you, you outsource your power to them and you become a slave to their praise. This means that they now have control over you, and they are able to manipulate you via praise or criticism. This is a dangerous place to be in. Is the answer to never ask for validation? No, again, its a human need.

This episode covers the dangers of relying solely on other's validating you and start giving yourself the validation you are looking for. I give you a framework for validating yourself, which has hella benefits. Not the least of which is that you become full and you are no longer choosing people who have pretty words but shit follow through. When you practice self validation, your confidence naturally grows.
