External & Internal Validation (Part 1)

Having a healthy sense of self-worth means balancing both external and internal validation. External validation is when you derive your self-worth from sources outside of yourself while Internal validation is when your self-worth comes from within. Unfortunately, many people rely on the external at the expense of the internal, thereby creating a situation where you are hustling to prove yourself to others and are over-sensitive to their criticism. In this special two-part series, we’re welcoming back to the show, Reno Johnston, to discuss how we can develop a more secure sense of self-worth using both external and internal validation. In part 1, we’ll be focusing on the external by discussing things like: Why do we crave external validation? In what ways do gay men typically seek it? What are the benefits? When does does become an issue? ►► COURSES & COACHING: Gay Men Going Deeper Coaching Collection: https://www.gaymensbrotherhood.com/ga... ►► SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted... ►► MONTHLY ZOOM CALL: Join the Gay Men's Brotherhood Facebook community:   / gaymensbrotherhood   ►► QUIZ: Take the Attachment Style quiz and get your free report: https://www.tryinteract.com/share/qui... ►► PODCAST: Wanna listen but not watch?
