Title: Wish us luck
Post by: believer55 on December 10, 2014, 02:20:45 AM
Well we are heading for a weekend away I bought for my uBPDh for his birthday mid year. I have been so anxious re his mood but he has been really trying. I am hoping for 3 days of no dysregulation. Keeping my validation technique handy but hoping we can both just relax. Wish us luck!

What is the validation technique?

Keep in mind it is sometimes easier to focus on not being invalidating, rather than trying to overdo the validation. Especially as he may be on a hair trigger in unfamiliar surroundings.

Thanks waverider... .hoping sunny (?) Queensland wil prove therapeutic. He struggles as the stress grows but once we're on the plane I hope he will start to relax. Will take your advice onboard!
