Validation - The New Approach To Change That Will Transform How You Love, Lead, And Live - E-book - ePub

If you want to change someone's mind, the fastest way is not to persuade them that they're wrong. It's to validate them. A groundbreaking new book from a Stanford University psychologist on behavioural change. Caroline Fleck's work studies the most up to date research on validation - the affirmation that one understands and accepts another person's experience as valid. The discovery that validation is a catalyst for change is perhaps the greatest secret in modern psychology.
Validation will do what no other book on the market has done by bringing the transformative effects of the emerging science out of academia, and into the lives of everyday people. Specifically, it explains how the validation skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) that revolutionised psychology can help anyone decrease conflict, strengthen relationships, and drive specific behavioural changes.
The profound effects of validation on behaviour are attributable to the fact that it is both a means and an end - it affirms that a person's experience is valid and unlocks their potential for change. The validation process promises transformation across many areas of life, but the five most proven are:*Improved Relationships*Decreased Conflict*Increased Influence*Increased Ability to Drive Behaviour Change*Increased Self-Compassion
