Book - 2025

"Achieve meaningful change with DBT skills The validation skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) revolutionized psychology by balancing the emphasis on changing behavior with a corresponding emphasis on acceptance. Now a prominent psychologist brings these validation skills out of therapy and into everyday life to help anyone decrease conflict, strengthen relationships, and change behaviors-in themselves and in others. As both a means and an end, validation has profound effects: it affirms a person's experience and unlocks their potential for growth. Dr. Caroline Fleck explains how and why validation is a catalyst for transformation, while taking us step-by-step through eight skills we can use to communicate it. With pract...ice, these skills become a way of life, helping us to focus on the possibilities that unfold when we see ourselves and others for who we really are"--
