Description

Hey look, a break from the breakup! Today I'm practicing acceptance around being invalidated. I go through acceptance step by step, do a lot of deep breathing, and have a remarkable amount of indigestion as I go. A kinda nifty outcome: practicing acceptance about my parents' validation skill level allowed me to see what boundaries I could put in place with them!
