đź§ Prevalidation Therapy at Mind and Brain Hospital
At Mind and Brain Hospital, we understand that individuals with dementia and related cognitive conditions deserve care that preserves their dignity, identity, and emotional well-being. Our Prevalidation Therapy program is a gentle, person-centered approach that helps individuals feel heard, valued, and emotionally secure—especially in the early to moderate stages of memory loss.
🌿 What is Prevalidation Therapy?
Prevalidation Therapy is a proactive communication technique that focuses on:
- Empathizing with the emotional reality of individuals with cognitive decline
- Acknowledging feelings rather than correcting facts
- Building trust through compassionate listening and non-judgmental dialogue
- Reducing anxiety, confusion, and agitation by validating lived experiences
Unlike traditional validation therapy, Prevalidation is used before disorientation becomes severe, making it ideal for early intervention and emotional support.
