So, what is toxic validation? This week I went live on my TikTok to record this week's episode and discuss why we go back and seek validation or feel voids from toxic people. I was inspired by a post referring to why we go back to toxic exes and people. It reminded me of that time why I was consoling a close friend through a break up all the while asking why I too kept going back to problematic and toxic people.   There was no promo this week but feel free to again follow me on social media: TikTok, YouTube & Instagram.
