🧠Validation Therapy at Mind and Brain Hospital
At Mind and Brain Hospital, we believe that every individual—regardless of age or cognitive ability—deserves to be heard, understood, and respected. Our Validation Therapy program is a gentle, empathetic approach designed to support individuals with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and cognitive decline by affirming their emotions and lived experiences.
🌼 What is Validation Therapy?
Validation Therapy is a person-centered communication method that:
- Accepts the reality of individuals with memory loss or confusion
- Focuses on emotional truth rather than factual accuracy
- Builds trust through empathetic listening and non-judgmental dialogue
- Helps reduce agitation, anxiety, and withdrawal
Developed by Naomi Feil, this approach encourages caregivers and therapists to enter the world of the individual, rather than trying to bring them back to ours.
🎯 Goals of the Validation therapy
– Enhance emotional well-being and reduce distress
– Improve communication and cooperation
– Preserve dignity and self-worth
