This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen dig into the topic of external validation: why we want it, where the need/want comes from, and how to start internalizing it so we can give that validation to ourselves. They normalize the desire for it, help us to understand the function of it, discuss when seeking external validation can be risky, and how much is too much. Emmalee and Jen talk about how the times in which we are feeling insecure can create an increased need for external validation and how anxiety can tie into it. They answer a Dear Em & Jen about only having one child and the desire for external validation to support this listener's decision. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
