34: Seeking Validation from the Wrong Places: The Pitfalls and Pathways to Empowerment

Life, Love, and Leadership for Physicians

Have you ever found yourself obsessing about what a colleague thinks of you, and you sideline the opinions or thoughts of your loved ones or people who truly matter? Maybe you've compromised your values to fit into a mold you believe will earn you respect or validation from others. While validation can help propel us forward and achieve incredible things, it can also tie us up in emotional knots when we seek this confirmation from the wrong people or places.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• What validation is and when it can become a problem
• How to recognize when we're seeking validation from the wrong places
• How to overcome the need for external validation in your personal and professional life
