TOPICS
Requests to self and others - Making requests is the fourth component of the NVC model. Many of our needs might be similar, while the strategies we use to meet these needs may differ.
Receiving and delivering difficult messages - It is often challenging to have a conversation about a sensitive subject, whether we need to communicate someone our disagreement or to respond to an unpleasant approach.
Hearing and Delivering a NO - If someone can never say ‘no’ to a person, whether he or she is their boss or significant other without feeling guilty afterwards, then they have a hard time identifying and prioritising their own needs over the needs of others.
Resolving conflicts - Many of us have been taught that conflict is bad, something to be avoided. Conflict is one of the chosen strategies from a multitude of choices. We either run from it, or we take the submissive route, incapable of an outcome that meets everyone’s needs.
Mediate conflicts or inner conflicts - Taking on the practice of NVC mediation means to constantly hone and expand the capacity to contribute to the reconciliation and healing of conflict
