Power of the tongue in a relationship

This week, I want us to talk about something many of us could be guilty but not aware of - invalidation in relationships. When you invalidate your partner, you reject, ignore, mock, tease, judge, or diminish their feelings. Consequently, they react by withdrawal, low self-esteem and may result in your relationship becoming victim and villain act.

Individuals in relationships that have a ‘high invalidation index’ do not feel loved. Consistent invalidations make the relationship toxic, and if not addressed, the relationship may break.
