Breaking Free: The Journey from External Validation to Self-Worth

“When behaviors are repeated, it's because they are rewarded...all of the rewards are going to enforce your behaviors. So you did not grow up having autonomy, which results in creating an insecure person into adulthood.”

Ever find yourself constantly seeking approval from others? In this episode of 'We Heal Together', Cordelia tackles the all-too-common struggle of relying on external validation. She dives deep into why we crave it, often tracing it back to childhood experiences where our autonomy was stifled. But don't worry, Cordelia doesn't just leave you hanging with the problem. She offers practical tips for shifting the focus inward and learning to validate yourself.

From honoring your own emotions to practicing mindfulness, she lays out a roadmap for breaking free from the need for others' approval. You'll also hear about her workbook and community clubs on Zoom, where you can connect with others on the same path of self-discovery and healing. So, if you're ready to start validating yourself and embracing your own worth, this episode is a must-listen.
