I believe the "your emotions are valid" idea has some merit, but only in the context of not being critical of yourself for feeling them. Accepting that you are feeling something can be an important part in the process of then stepping back and questioning why you are feeling it and whether it is appropriate for the situation you are in.

Yep, this is exactly what I meant. Thanks for articulating it so well.
