Mystery Gift Box #048 | The 4 Components of the Non-Violent Communication Framework

The best hidden gems I've found; interesting ideas and concepts, thought-provoking questions, mind-blowing books/podcasts, cool animes/films, and other mysteries ❤️

Hey friends,

Why do we sometimes disconnect from our compassionate nature and choose to express ourselves violently / unkindly?

In the book Non-Violent Communication (NVC) by Marshall Rosenberg, it talks about the different ways language and choice of words affect our ability to stay compassionate. There are different forms of communication that lead us to unkindness; the use of moralistic judgments that imply wrongness on people who don’t act in harmony with our values, the use of comparisons, the use of demanding actions rather than kind requests and so on. To communicate compassionately, the book introduces the non-violent communication (NVC) framework.

❤️ The NVC Framework

The NVC framework has four components:

NVC can be used to a) express yourself clearly and honestly (without blaming or criticising) and b) receive how you are emphatically (without hearing blame or criticism)

  1. Observations

  2. Feelings

  3. Needs

  4. Requests
