What is Emotional Validation?

Emotional validation is the process of learning about, understanding, and expressing acceptance of another person’s emotional experience. Emotional validation is distinguished from emotional invalidation, in which another person’s emotional experiences are rejected, ignored, or judged.

What is Emotional Support? 

With respect to just exactly what social support means, perhaps one of the best definitions was given by the psychiatrist Sidney Cobb. He proposed that social support was a subjective sensation in which the individual feels, “That he is cared for and loved. That he is esteemed and valued; That he belongs to a network of communication and mutual obligation.” There are a variety of ways to measure emotional/social support. 

What is Emotional Bankruptcy? 

When a person is emotionally void or bankrupt, there is no place from which they can draw love, kindness, empathy and any number of other emotions that it takes to sustain a healthy relationship. Even their communication is robotic or rehearsed; a damaged perspective often skews their logic.
