Getting Started with NVC

NVC has been a powerful tool for connecting with my feelings, needs, my humanity, and the humanity of others. Here, I try to translate my experience into practical tools for you to get started.

Sometimes, we need some help in transforming judgments into observations. Judgments have a special way of triggering emotions and thought patterns that tend to make us stuck. So, this tool might help you with that:

Connect Dispite Conflict

A NVC Tool to help you get out of stuck beliefs and into compassion and freedom.

Also, I find the following tool especially useful when there is conflict. When we connect deeply with our feelings and needs, I find that a curiosity is born about what the other people we might be in conflict are feeling and needing. In NVC we say that needs are never in conflict, only strategies. By connecting with this realm of feelings and needs, we can then think about better strategies that can release the conflict.
