The Validation technique “Centering” means clearing yourself of thoughts and feelings which as a caregiver will help you listen exquisitely to the person you are caring for and communicate openly. In this video, learn how to center yourself by first finding an “anchor” (a part of your body that you can squeeze comfortably in public) and then think of a situation in which you felt strong. When the strength is most powerful in your thoughts, press your anchor point and then slowly release that pressure.
