“ Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need. Marshall Rosenberg (via shuttupyou)
“ I’m interested in learning that’s motivated by reverence for life, that’s motivated by a desire to learn skills, to learn new things that help us to better contribute to our own well-being and the well-being of others. And what fills me with great sadness is any learning that I see motivated by coercion. Marshall Rosenberg, Psychologist and Creator of Nonviolent Communication (via learningtheirlessons)

Non-Violent Communication (NVC) Tips & Tools

(via homoarigato)

Suggestions for putting NVC into practice:

  • When asking someone to do something, check first to see if you are making a request or a demand.
  • Instead of saying what you DON’T want someone to do, say what you DO want the person to do.
  • Before agreeing or disagreeing with anyone’s opinions, try to tune in to what the person is feeling and needing.
  • Instead of saying “no”, say what need of yours is preventing you from saying “yes”.
  • If you are feeling upset, think about what need of yours is not being met and what could be done to meet it, instead of thinking about what’s wrong with others or yourself.
  • Instead of praising someone who did something you like, express your gratitude by telling the person what need of yours that action met.
