Toxic Validation : When Approval Replaces Identity
Toxic Validation — When Approval Replaces Identity is a soul-stirring and emotionally revealing journey into one of the quietest prisons of our generation—the need to be seen, liked, and accepted at the cost of who we truly are. In a world where self-worth is too often measured by followers, affirmation, and applause, Christian author DeShawn Price exposes the deep emotional wounds behind the desire for validation and the silent erosion of identity it causes. This book doesn’t just diagnose the problem—it leads readers into freedom, wholeness, and truth found only in knowing who they are in Christ.
When every post, compliment, and comparison becomes a mirror that defines your value, Toxic Validation pulls back the curtain and reveals how approval can become an idol—and how breaking free from it can restore peace, purpose, and power. With tender honesty, scriptural insight, and profound storytelling, DeShawn Price helps readers confront the subtle lies that tell them they are only as good as others say they are. Through biblical wisdom and heartfelt reflection, readers will learn to recognize when validation has become toxic and how to replace public applause with divine affirmation.
