  15. Reasons for keeping Communication Superficial: • I may be hurt. • I don’t want to hurt their feelings. • They will misinterpret what I say. • They won’t be receptive • It will put our relationship at risk. • I will be out on a limb and won’t be supported. http://www.mnadr.state.mn.us/workplace/pdf/Keepcomm.pdf

  16. What Validation Is • To validate someone's feelings is first to accept someone's feelings. Next, it is to understand them, and finally it is to nurture them.

  17. Basic Steps to Validation • Acknowledging the other person's feelings • Identifying the feelings • Offering to listen • Helping them label the feelings • Being there for them; remaining present physically and emotionally • Feeling patient • Feeling accepting and non-judgmental

  18. Example of Validating • I hear you.That hurtsThat's not good • Wow, that's a lot to deal withI would feel the same way. (I would be sad/hurt/angry/jealous, etc. too) • That is sad.That sounds discouraging.That sounds like it would really hurt That must really hurt. • I know just what you mean.I would feel the same way.I can understand how you feel.It sounds like you are really feeling ____.It sounds like is really important to you.

  20. Painful feelings that are expressed, acknowledged and validated by a trusted listener will diminish.Painful feelings that are ignored will gain strength. (1)

  21. “No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous.” • Henry B. Adams

  22. Summary: • What is SPV? • The greater the need to communicate our feelings, the harder it is to do. Indeed, sharing our opinions and emotions is risky business. We minimize the risk when we move through the levels of communication incrementally. That is, each conversation ought to begin with phatic (superficial) communication and move through the levels (however quickly seems appropriate) before moving to the more intimate levels. • Generally, we look for the other individual to reciprocate at the same level of intensity. There is a social convention to match levels. If the other initiates a conversation at the evaluative level, we often feel compelled to respond in kind. This is dangerous. • Sharing our ideas and feelings is generally reserved for those whom we trust. Trust is a function of confidence, commitment, and time. We generally share our essence with those we’ve known a long time.(2)
