On Invalidation (Not so Safe Spaces)

Following off the heels of an episode about intent versus impact, it's time to talk about safe spaces. Are you one for the people in your life? You might be surprised by the answer. In today's episode, Dre talks about the invalidation of emotions and experiences, and how that can be discordant when you are trying to be a safe space for others. Sometimes we, even accidentally, invalidate what someone feels or is going through by minimizing its impact or scope. If we want others to come to us, and trust us enough to share, we have to do better about being safe spaces for them. Ask those closest to you how you can best show up as a safe space for them in their lives, and watch what happens.
