NVC is a reminder; to focus our attention where we are most likely to get our needs met.

NVC requires us to be continually conscious of the beauty within ourselves and other people.

When we fear punishment, we focus on consequences, not on our own values.

We are never angry because of what others say or do. It is our thinking that makes us angry.

Tragically, one of the rarest commodities in our culture is empathy. People are hungry for empathy, They don't know how to ask for it.

Use anger as a wake-up call to unmet needs.

The cause of anger lies in our thinking - in thoughts of blame and judgment.
