Validation&amp;nbsp;Theory contrasts directly with Embracing Their Reality™️ because it teaches to &quot;never lie&quot; to someone living with dementia, and often suggests avoiding certain lines of questioning instead. For example, if someone with dementia asks &quot;Where's my mom?&quot;&amp;nbsp;Validation&amp;nbsp;teaches to answer the person with dementia like this: &quot;It sounds like you miss your mom.&quot; This doesn't solve the emotional problem the person with dementia is experiencing.&amp;nbsp; Rachael also discusses the often lesser-known aspects of&amp;nbsp;Validation&amp;nbsp;Theory, which are surprisingly Freudian in nature.
