Keep in mind that other people's actions can never 'make' you feel any certain way. Feelings are your warning indicators.

Self-empathy in NVC means checking in with your own feelings and needs.

Blaming and punishing others are superficial expressions of anger.

Once you have access to key people in an organization, if you go into a meeting with enemy images of those people - then you are not going to connect.

NVC helps us connect with each other and ourselves in a way that allows our natural compassion to flourish.

Regardless of our many differences, we all have the same needs. What differs is the strategy for fulfilling these needs.

Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing.
