We use NVC to evaluate ourselves in ways that engender growth rather than self-hatred.
Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone's needs to be met.
When we judge others we contribute to violence.
Empathize, rather than put your "but" in the face of an angry person.
Empathize with silence by listening for the feelings and needs behind it.
Don't get addicted to your requests. Your objective is needs, not requests. Because then it becomes a demand.
