Validation, communication through empathy | Naomi Feil | TEDxAmsterdamWomen

[@kaigeddes]

"Rephrasing is exquisite listening." That is powerful.

[@Rokosiga]

"Listen when I cry"...beautiful....

[@tiffsaver]

This woman is a gift. More people should learn about her.

[@Vermillion_Treezzz3113]

I agree. More people should learn FROM her, too. 💜💜💜

[@olgaistratii7130]

“If I am full of emotions I can never cross the street to the side of that lady”, what an eye opening statement! !!

[@wellmindsschool5335]

Wow the attentiveness in the crowd. The connection was amazing 😉

[@iMmunashe]

Wow this lady GOOD. Her skills in empathy have shown me how much I have to learn about being present when validating others

[@richard169]

Just dazzling, the look on the faces of the younger women are brilliant tributes to caregivers everywhere.

[@midwyf]

Validation is a way to communicate with anyone sensitive, hurting or whenever necessary!

[@tumbleweed6492]

The final statement sums it all. The key to real healing: To be seen: having your feelings felt and validated. Only in this way will you receive your release, and be able to move on.

[@ASTARR333]

VAlidation should begin in childhood. How many times have we heard parents tell kids dont cry, you're fine ect.

[@MrSuperbluesky]

This is the cause of many problems

[@tiasara9643]

It’s perhaps the cause of all social trouble and certainly violence and war.

[@lapizlazuli2738]

Also as parents we do what we can and what we remember from our own childhoods. It's complicated to be a whole person and pass it on to your kids because you are still working issues out while learning to be a parent.

[@wemuk5170]

It is just as bad when parents keep telling their kids/youths that they are not fine & many have come to believe that mental illness is inherently lifelong by nature when that is not the case. We don’t know if the kid/youth is fine or not fine, so I guess all I can say is as little as possible like: “It is OK to cry.” Not: you are OK. Nor: you are not okay, are you? How do we know? Even the person does not know precisely where the person is. Far better to be a listener (with quiet empathy) than a talker (with quick/false assurance).

[@jrmellys2870]

lol I bet you melt in the sun you cup cake

[@oranaviv1]

The amazing Naomi Feil! What an actress! What a teacher! Validation is the way to communicate with old old disoriented people. Using empathy and listening makes all the difference.

[@judyl.761]

And also all humans!

[@Alphacentauri819]

Validation is the way to communicate with all people. It is vital. Validated children grow up to intrinsically have more empathy and skill to validate others. Their sense of self is intact and they can thrive. Invalidation is a form of emotional abuse that has a pervasive ongoing effect in one’s life…until they do deep healing work.

[@alinageorge2681]

This has completely changed the way I think about problems. It's much easier to sort things out in my head, and communication skills don't seem so mysterious now. Bless her :)

[@camerrill]

Dear Naimi Feil is a great example of how to give solace and joy to those lost in the dark. I love her. This validation approach is beautiful, humane, Godly.

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

Amazing made me cry, my mother has dementia and I am going through the "he stole my photographs" and she is convinced one of the carers in the home is trying to poison her. They need to teach these skills to the carers because they really don't even try to connect with her.I am struggling to understand her as her words are going..Thank you so much for this.

[@annie6500]

TheDreadfulCurtain I pray she is safe and getting the care she needs and deserves!

[@HalloweenEye]

Very wise guidance and engaging presentation!

[@DreamingSkychild]

Wow, wow, wow. What emotional intelligence... so beautiful and inspiring! Thank you Mrs Feil

[@debbabbit9283]

I wish I had known this when I started caring for elderly people in the 60's. How many people since then were reached out to in the wrong way. There's so much to learn. You have touched our lives with the wisdom that should have been accessible all along. Thank you for embracing people, right where they are.

[@mollystalk8373]

This is the answer I needed to find my answer to my work on conflict. Thank you Ma'am wherever you are.

[@moniquedilella7969]

On my I learned more hear than in ANY book on Alzheimer's I've ever read. So so wish I would have heard this 2 yrs ago. Thank you I know better now. Love love this video. 🤗

[@LinYouToo]

This is brilliant. In 1986 I attended training called integrity selling. The whole premise of the model was an acronym called V.A.L.I.D.A.T.E. Some of the best training I ever took. I wonder to this day if that company is still around. This is great not only for aging seniors but also for every day practice in human relationships.

[@LovingAtlanta]

LinYouToo - 👍I agree this great for any and all of us!! I wish you could remember the name of the integrity selling training or what the VALIDATE acronym stood for. I can’t find it online. I think it would be terrific. Thanks for sharing.💞

[@davidsogoni]

Hi, please just share what the accronym stands for?

[@stormflame829]

I'm not sure how to do this, but I can feel other people's pain, and it stays with me. things people forget in a second stays forever in my head. just a collection of sadness from other's for whatever reason. Bless you dear Naomi.

[@BrendaAvadian]

There are few words to describe Naomi Feil's pivotal results to connect authentically with others. MASTERFUL! This is one word that comes to mind. More hands-on caregivers would be gifted with her tools.

[@claires8735]

Thank you so much, Naomi Feil for teaching me about validation. I worked with the elderly for many years and using validation helped me minister to their needs with loving kindness. ❤️

[@divingbells29]

I will spread the word and show this to my students who are studying social work. thank you for your important work, Naomi!

[@SK-BEAU]

I'm studying Occupational Therapy and this video was so insightful. Feel more prepared to serve the elderly with dignity

[@maggie2617]

Fantastic talk, seriously blown away.

[@joekleid]

Absolutely fantastic! I work with seniors and Naomi Feil's teachings have changed my life! If you have not read her books, READ THEM! :-) she also offers amazing training through her Validation Training Institute.

[@mollystalk8373]

The first books I will buy

[@marciapow256]

Joe Kleid My daughter is a CNA, she tells me of residents who wish they were dead already 💔

[@Alphacentauri819]

@@marciapow256 many people wish they were dead already. I’ve been there. It is the deepest form of self invalidation. The antidote is connection. That’s why validation works, it is the bridge of connection (understanding, seeing, accepting) another person’s experience, reality, and holding space for all of it. Having a person bear witness to our pain, is healing. Too many people are uncomfortable with other’s emotions. They minimize, dismiss, ignore, try to fix, disagree…all in an attempt to make the other’s persons feelings go away, or stop. This only increases another person’s pain…that is disconnect. I was an RN for over a decade, and am now pursuing neuroscience. I hope your daughter can hold space for those residents, it is the most powerful thing we can do for another person.. old or young.

[@yolisamsomi1130]

That standing ovation was well-earned

[@olga.felicita]

This is an example of a super-power for me. Whoever this lady is - it’s one of the most difficult works in world she is/was doing. 👏👏👏

[@jo-annahicks3324]

She is a rockstar.

[@sammorrison8042]

Instead of going with the technique of becoming an empty vessel at 3:31 I would suggest simply directing your empathy outwards and not make anything they say about yourself. Don't turn your thoughts inwards

[@aeonnova8354]

Wow, what a beautiful soul

[@nomxhosapekani7966]
