Invalidating Vs. Validating

 / 

Invalidating

  • I donโ€™t know why youโ€™re so upset; itโ€™s not a big deal.
  • I already apologized, canโ€™t we just move on?
  • You never respond to me
  • Itโ€™s ridiculous youโ€™re upset because you know I love you

Validating

  • Clearly this is a big deal to you. How can I support you right now?
  • Maybe you want something in addition to โ€œIโ€™m sorry.โ€ Maybe you want to know I really understand how it affected you.
  • I donโ€™t want you to feel attacked because I know you care; but at the same time I feel shut out when I donโ€™t hear back from you.
  • I love you very much and I need to know you know that. Itโ€™s also important for me to understand why this is affecting you like it is.
