We use NVC to evaluate ourselves in ways that engender growth rather than self-hatred.
Marshall B. RosenbergTo be able to hear our own feelings and needs and to empathize with them can free us from depression.
Marshall B. RosenbergAny evaluation which implies rightness or wrongness is a tragic, suicidal expression of an unmet need. Tragic, first because it decreases our likelihood of getting our need met! Even if we think it. And secondly, because it increases the likelihood of violence. That's why I'm suggesting any evaluation which implies rightness or wrongness is a tragic, suicidal expression of an unmet need. Say the need! Learn a need-consciousness.
