“Validation or Manipulation? When Feelings Become Power”

Open to everyone. Respect required.
___
We hear it everywhere:
“Your feelings are valid.”
But what if validation is sometimes used as leverage?
What if “understanding” turns into control?
What if empathy becomes a way to avoid accountability?
_________
In this powerful and interactive Discover U event, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood dynamics in modern relationships:
_________
When does emotional validation build connection… and when does it become emotional manipulation?
We’ll explore:
· The difference between validating emotions and excusing behavior
· How validation can calm conflict — or fuel it
· When someone is seeking understanding vs. seeking control
· How emotional language can be used to avoid responsibility
· The fine line between empathy and enabling
__________
You’ll be challenged to examine your own patterns:
· Do you genuinely validate — or do you appease?
· Do you seek understanding — or do you seek agreement?
· Have you ever used your emotions to gain power in a situation?
_____________
This is not a lecture.
It’s a live debate.
A real conversation.
A Reality Check.
_________
If you care about emotional maturity, healthy conflict, and building relationships rooted in accountability — this event will stretch you.
Come ready to question everything you think you know about “validation.”
