Making Sense of Validation - Summary of Caroline Flecks Validation

Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornikc

Validation is a groundbreaking yet often misunderstood communication tool that we often run on autopilot. Once armed with its awareness, it redefines how we interact with ourselves and others by highlighting one of human connection’s most overlooked yet vital elements: the need to feel seen, heard, and understood. Author and PhD, Caroline Fleck, a psychologist and expert in emotional intelligence, walks readers through the science, psychology, and practical application of validation, not as a tool for agreement, but as a strategy for connection and emotional regulation.

At its core, Validation teaches us that people don’t need to be right; they need to be real. And for that, they need a space safe enough to let their truth breathe.
