Web Reference: Validating others is an effective interpersonal skill to improve our interactions. This handout will introduce you to what validation is within DBT, how to validate someone, what counts as “valid,” and why validation is effective. Validation occurs when you communicate to another person that his or her feelings, thoughts, and actions make sense and are understandable to you in a particular situation. For example, "It makes sense that you are a little nervous about your test" or "You are really sad today." Who validates you? Learn to self-validate by following these four steps. 1. Observe. How does your body feel? What thoughts are running through your head? Be still and notice what’s happening in your body and mind. 2. Acknowledge. Name the emotion you’re experiencing right now, without judging it. If you feel sad, say, “I’m feeling sad right now.”
