The Most Important Validation

September 27, 2024

This post resonates deeply. We often hope for acknowledgment from the person who caused us hurt. We think it would heal us faster if they saw the impact they had. But the truth is, the most important validation is the one you give yourself. Only you know your journey, and only you can truly understand the impact something had on you.

It’s a difficult path to walk because it feels like things would be easier if the other person recognized your pain. But you can’t force someone to see, feel, or act differently. Nor should you. Would you want someone to impose that on you? No.

So while this message may seem simple, it’s a deeply challenging but empowering one: You validating yourself is the ultimate healing.
