My therapist said that getting to the point where you can "self validate" is an important place to get to. Looking for validation externally usually is an indication of less self confidence in yourself & your action & responses to situations.

I always thought I would need my T to run things by but I found out, I was making good
healthy choices & when I realized I was finally doing well, I just didn't return to therapy. I now have good trusted friends I can talk some things through with & self-validation has become much easier. Not rationalization of bad choices, but validation of good ones
