TOPICS

Self-Empathy - When the mind tends to fill with self-critical thoughts, especially when we ‘make a mistake’ or ‘fail’ at something, or procrastinate, if we ask what feelings and needs are suppressed in this self-critical language, we are on the way to discover self-empathy.

Mourning and Forgiving - We know that we have made a mistake when we experience feelings of regret after doing or saying things we wish we hadn’t. We often judge ourselves and feel shame, guilt, or anger towards ourselves.

Reclaiming Power of Choice - Freedom comes from the recognition that there is a choice in everything we do or say, that nothing or no one can coerce us into doing something we do not or choose not to do.

Appreciation and Celebration - NVC model encourages the expression of appreciation as a way to celebrate life when our needs are met. This awareness of fulfilment brings joy and gratitude in our lives.
