DBT Dialectics and Validation

The video above comes from Cracking the G-Code, an eCourse designed for men with a history of infidelity who want to rebuild confidence and develop healthier, long-term relationships.

For a limited time, the course is free for the first 100 members and includes up to 8 weeks of weekly virtual support. To access it, register for the Member’s Only Club and use promo code FREECGC at checkout.

While the video is created for a specific audience, the skills discussed can benefit anyone looking to strengthen their relationships and reduce conflict.

In this video, you’ll learn four practical communication skills:

• Using dialectical thinking to better understand another person’s perspective
• Improving validation skills so conversations don’t feel critical or defensive
• Using the word “and” (or pausing your sentence) to prevent further invalidation during disagreements
• Accepting facts, feelings, and “nuggets of truth” to build stronger connection and communication
